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 MEADOW WALK sales between August 1996 and October 2012 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 November 2010 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
