The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 32 LEYCROFT WAY sales from August 2003 and July 2024 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 August 2003 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
32 LEYCROFT WAY might now be worth an estimated £1,089,641.
This is based on house price inflation of 6.3%, between July 2024 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 6.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 LEYCROFT WAY of £1,025,000 on 24th July 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,025,000 to £1,089,641 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
