4 WEST WAY 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 4 WEST WAY sales between July 1999 and January 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 September 2015 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 4 WEST WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6.7%, between January 2022 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 6.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 WEST WAY of £1,550,000 on 14th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £1,550,000 to £1,653,924 over the one year and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
