7 DARWIN CLOSE 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 7 DARWIN CLOSE sales between January 2003 and January 2025 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 February 2016 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
