3 CARDINAL GROVE 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 3 CARDINAL GROVE sales from September 2002 and June 2014 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 2002 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 3 CARDINAL GROVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 55.3%, between June 2014 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 55.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 CARDINAL GROVE of £925,000 on 20th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £925,000 to £1,436,284 over the nine years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
