1 BEECH PLACE 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 two 1 BEECH PLACE sales from January 1999 and February 2000 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 January 1999 sale was for 85% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 85% below the HPI over time, until the February 2000 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 1 BEECH PLACE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 266.2%, between February 2000 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the St Albans local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 266.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BEECH PLACE of £308,000 on 4th February 2000. For the value to have increased from £308,000 to £1,127,930 over the 25 years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
