2A KIPLING WAY 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 2A KIPLING WAY sales from November 1995 and August 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 November 1995 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 2A KIPLING WAY be worth now?

2A KIPLING WAY might now be worth an estimated £1,347,799.

This is based on house price inflation of 10%, between August 2021 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 10% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2A KIPLING WAY of £1,225,000 on 27th August 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,225,000 to £1,347,799 over the two years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2A KIPLING WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The August 2021 sale price of £1,225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2A KIPLING WAY has not materially changed since August 2021.
