The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CANDLEFORD sales from April 1996 and April 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 April 1996 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
