3 SHORT LANE 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 3 SHORT LANE sales from May 2022 and February 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 May 2022 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it rises to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.
