8 WATFORD 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 three 8 WATFORD ROAD sales between July 1997 and February 2012 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 March 2002 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.
