The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 14 SOPWELL LANE sales between November 1998 and January 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 May 2004 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI.
