15 CROSSPATHS 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 15 CROSSPATHS sales between August 1996 and March 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 August 2010 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 15 CROSSPATHS be worth now?

15 CROSSPATHS might now be worth an estimated £1,079,847.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.3%, between March 2020 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 21.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 CROSSPATHS of £890,000 on 31st March 2020. For the value to have increased from £890,000 to £1,079,847 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 CROSSPATHS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £890,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 15 CROSSPATHS has not materially changed since March 2020.
