BARNFIELD HOUSE 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 BARNFIELD HOUSE sales between August 2002 and November 2017 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 September 2011 sale was for 237% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 237% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 213% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 213% above the HPI.
