30 CROSS WAY 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 30 CROSS WAY sales between August 1997 and September 2004 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 January 2000 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the September 2004 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 30 CROSS WAY be worth now?

30 CROSS WAY might now be worth an estimated £859,985.

This is based on house price inflation of 134%, between September 2004 and February 2025, 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 134% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 30 CROSS WAY of £367,500 on 16th September 2004. For the value to have increased from £367,500 to £859,985 over the 21 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 30 CROSS WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The September 2004 sale price of £367,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 30 CROSS WAY has not materially changed since September 2004.
