5B WATLING STREET 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 three 5B WATLING STREET sales between April 2007 and February 2018 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 July 2011 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
