The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 DARWIN CLOSE sales from June 2001 and June 2013 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 2001 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI.
