8 DUBRAE CLOSE 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 two 8 DUBRAE CLOSE sales from April 1999 and December 2015 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 April 1999 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI.
