12 CENTRAL DRIVE 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 12 CENTRAL DRIVE sales from September 1996 and May 2017 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 September 1996 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 12 CENTRAL DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.5%, between May 2017 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 20.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 CENTRAL DRIVE of £915,000 on 18th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £915,000 to £1,102,967 over the eight years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
