6 HERON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 HERON CLOSE sales from May 2015 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 May 2015 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 6 HERON CLOSE be worth now?
