38 THE UPLANDS 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 four 38 THE UPLANDS sales between August 2001 and December 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 June 2007 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 38 THE UPLANDS be worth now?

38 THE UPLANDS might now be worth an estimated £772,769.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.2%, between December 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 16.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 THE UPLANDS of £665,000 on 21st December 2020. For the value to have increased from £665,000 to £772,769 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 38 THE UPLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £665,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 38 THE UPLANDS has not materially changed since December 2020.
