8 GRANT GARDENS 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 GRANT GARDENS sales from May 2002 and January 2013 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 May 2002 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it rises to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.
