6 MEDLOWS 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 four 6 MEDLOWS sales between September 2004 and February 2023 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 February 2008 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
