The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 40 LEA ROAD sales from June 2016 and May 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 June 2016 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI.
