24 DOUGLAS 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 three 24 DOUGLAS ROAD sales between July 2005 and January 2022 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 2015 sale was for 113% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 113% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 165% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 165% above the HPI.

What might 24 DOUGLAS ROAD be worth now?

24 DOUGLAS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £3,278,951.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.1%, between January 2022 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 6.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 24 DOUGLAS ROAD of £3,090,000 on 7th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £3,090,000 to £3,278,951 over the two years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 24 DOUGLAS ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £3,090,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
