5 COMMON 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 three 5 COMMON LANE sales between August 2011 and December 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 July 2012 sale was for 57% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
