38 SAUNCEY AVENUE 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 38 SAUNCEY AVENUE sales from February 1998 and October 2014 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 February 1998 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.

What might 38 SAUNCEY AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 45.3%, between October 2014 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 45.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 SAUNCEY AVENUE of £1,660,000 on 29th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £1,660,000 to £2,412,729 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
