The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 DARWIN CLOSE sales between January 2003 and February 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2011 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI.
