The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 79 MEADOWCROFT sales between June 1998 and November 2022 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 2018 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
