HAWTHORNS 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 two HAWTHORNS sales from June 2003 and August 2015 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 June 2003 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.
