42 FOXCROFT 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 42 FOXCROFT sales between December 1997 and November 2010 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 2002 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 42 FOXCROFT be worth now?

42 FOXCROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,519,631.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.8%, between November 2010 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 78.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 FOXCROFT of £850,000 on 30th November 2010. For the value to have increased from £850,000 to £1,519,631 over the fifteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 FOXCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The November 2010 sale price of £850,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 42 FOXCROFT has not materially changed since November 2010.
