74 MEADWAY 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 74 MEADWAY sales between September 2009 and August 2019 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 January 2015 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.
