18 WORDSWORTH ROAD 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 18 WORDSWORTH ROAD sales from February 1996 and December 2006 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 1996 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 18 WORDSWORTH ROAD be worth now?

18 WORDSWORTH ROAD might now be worth an estimated £1,404,254.

This is based on house price inflation of 106.5%, between December 2006 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 106.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 WORDSWORTH ROAD of £680,000 on 7th December 2006. For the value to have increased from £680,000 to £1,404,254 over the nineteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
