16 CASTLE ROAD 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 four 16 CASTLE ROAD sales between June 2005 and September 2014 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 2007 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 16 CASTLE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 48.7%, between September 2014 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 48.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 CASTLE ROAD of £620,000 on 19th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £620,000 to £922,120 over the eleven years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
