The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 PORTMAN CLOSE sales from December 2006 and June 2015 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the December 2006 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI.
