8 TOVEY 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 three 8 TOVEY CLOSE sales between March 1999 and October 2011 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 August 2005 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.
