56 LONGACRES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 56 LONGACRES sales from August 1999 and January 2019 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 1999 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
