145 CRABTREE LANE 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 145 CRABTREE LANE sales between July 1995 and November 2009 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 2007 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 145 CRABTREE LANE be worth now?

145 CRABTREE LANE might now be worth an estimated £1,335,183.

This is based on house price inflation of 102.3%, between November 2009 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 102.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 145 CRABTREE LANE of £660,000 on 3rd November 2009. For the value to have increased from £660,000 to £1,335,183 over the fourteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 145 CRABTREE LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The November 2009 sale price of £660,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
