The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 6 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales between December 1998 and May 2007 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 December 2003 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI.
