1 HOUSEFIELD WAY 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 1 HOUSEFIELD WAY sales between December 1998 and September 2019 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 March 2007 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 1 HOUSEFIELD WAY be worth now?

1 HOUSEFIELD WAY might now be worth an estimated £665,421.

This is based on house price inflation of 21%, between September 2019 and December 2024, 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 21% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 HOUSEFIELD WAY of £550,000 on 2nd September 2019. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £665,421 over the four years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 HOUSEFIELD WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
