14 ROWAN 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 three 14 ROWAN WAY sales between April 1998 and September 2015 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 December 1998 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might 14 ROWAN WAY be worth now?

14 ROWAN WAY might now be worth an estimated £1,760,085.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.8%, between September 2015 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 32.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 ROWAN WAY of £1,325,000 on 28th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £1,325,000 to £1,760,085 over the eight years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 14 ROWAN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £1,325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 14 ROWAN WAY has not materially changed since September 2015.
