5 CAPE ROAD 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 four 5 CAPE ROAD sales between April 1996 and March 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 April 2006 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 45% below the HPI.
