17 HORNBEAMS 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 two 17 HORNBEAMS sales from April 2003 and January 2021 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 April 2003 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 17 HORNBEAMS be worth now?

17 HORNBEAMS might now be worth an estimated £764,602.

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between January 2021 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 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 HORNBEAMS of £665,000 on 6th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £665,000 to £764,602 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 HORNBEAMS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £665,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 HORNBEAMS has not materially changed since January 2021.
