13 THE POPLARS 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 three 13 THE POPLARS sales between November 2005 and November 2021 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 February 2007 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 13 THE POPLARS be worth now?

13 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £932,112.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.3%, between November 2021 and February 2025, 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 10.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 THE POPLARS of £845,000 on 29th November 2021. For the value to have increased from £845,000 to £932,112 over the four years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 13 THE POPLARS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £845,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
