38 ASHDALES 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 38 ASHDALES sales between September 2000 and May 2022 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 October 2007 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.

What might 38 ASHDALES be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 5.7%, between May 2022 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 5.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 ASHDALES of £590,000 on 6th May 2022. For the value to have increased from £590,000 to £623,581 over the three years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
