8 LEA 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 four 8 LEA ROAD sales between May 1995 and July 2018 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 November 2014 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
