2 CHAUCER CLOSE 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 2 CHAUCER CLOSE sales from December 2010 and April 2023 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 December 2010 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI.
