36 LONGACRES 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 36 LONGACRES sales from April 1999 and July 2020 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 April 1999 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 36 LONGACRES be worth now?

36 LONGACRES might now be worth an estimated £1,141,582.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.2%, between July 2020 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 21.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 36 LONGACRES of £942,000 on 16th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £942,000 to £1,141,582 over the three years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 36 LONGACRES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The July 2020 sale price of £942,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 36 LONGACRES has not materially changed since July 2020.
