61 SOPWELL LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 61 SOPWELL LANE sales between April 1995 and September 2021 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 2004 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 57% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% below the HPI.
