31 WORDSWORTH ROAD 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 three 31 WORDSWORTH ROAD sales between December 1997 and February 2017 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 June 2016 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 31 WORDSWORTH ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.9%, between February 2017 and February 2025, 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 17.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 WORDSWORTH ROAD of £1,120,000 on 21st February 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,120,000 to £1,320,764 over the eight years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
