BARN COTTAGE 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 BARN COTTAGE sales between April 1998 and July 2022 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 2000 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it rises to 61% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% above the HPI.
