8 BRIGHTVIEW 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 three 8 BRIGHTVIEW CLOSE sales between July 1995 and January 2010 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2000 sale was for 58% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% below the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 53% below the HPI.
