6 TOWNSEND ROAD 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 6 TOWNSEND ROAD sales between September 1995 and March 2006 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 1996 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the March 2006 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
