The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2A DOWNES ROAD sales from December 2002 and April 2017 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 2002 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI.
