KESTREL 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 KESTREL HOUSE sales between March 2014 and June 2021 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 2017 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
