15A TOWNSEND DRIVE 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 two 15A TOWNSEND DRIVE sales from August 1998 and April 1999 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 1998 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the April 1999 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 15A TOWNSEND DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 341.7%, between April 1999 and February 2025, 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 341.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15A TOWNSEND DRIVE of £288,500 on 23rd April 1999. For the value to have increased from £288,500 to £1,274,161 over the 26 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
