2 ORCHARD AVENUE 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 four 2 ORCHARD AVENUE sales between August 1998 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 September 2006 sale was for 138% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 138% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

What might 2 ORCHARD AVENUE be worth now?

2 ORCHARD AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £2,220,335.

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between January 2021 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 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 ORCHARD AVENUE of £1,931,000 on 26th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,931,000 to £2,220,335 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 ORCHARD AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £1,931,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 ORCHARD AVENUE has not materially changed since January 2021.
