17B DOUGLAS 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 two 17B DOUGLAS ROAD sales from February 2007 and December 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 February 2007 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 17B DOUGLAS ROAD be worth now?

17B DOUGLAS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £1,005,435.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.8%, between December 2020 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 15.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17B DOUGLAS ROAD of £868,000 on 16th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £868,000 to £1,005,435 over the five years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
