1 BIRCH COPSE 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 four 1 BIRCH COPSE sales between December 1995 and December 2020 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 October 2003 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, which was also at 48% below the HPI.
