The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 BLAKE CLOSE sales from August 2004 and June 2017 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2004 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI.
