12 LEYCROFT WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 LEYCROFT WAY sales from May 2012 and January 2020 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 May 2012 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might 12 LEYCROFT WAY be worth now?

12 LEYCROFT WAY might now be worth an estimated £921,934.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.1%, between January 2020 and December 2024, for semi-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 22.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 LEYCROFT WAY of £755,000 on 29th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £755,000 to £921,934 over the three years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The January 2020 sale price of £755,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
