25 TOWNSEND 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 three 25 TOWNSEND ROAD sales between September 1999 and October 2023 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 2014 sale was for 117% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 117% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.

What might 25 TOWNSEND ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 7.1%, between October 2023 and December 2024, 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 7.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 25 TOWNSEND ROAD of £1,215,000 on 26th October 2023. For the value to have increased from £1,215,000 to £1,301,358 over the ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The October 2023 sale price of £1,215,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
