24 LONGCROFT 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 two 24 LONGCROFT AVENUE sales from March 2005 and December 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 March 2005 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might 24 LONGCROFT AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 3.9%, between December 2022 and December 2024, 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 3.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 24 LONGCROFT AVENUE of £1,800,000 on 22nd December 2022. For the value to have increased from £1,800,000 to £1,870,411 over the two years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
