42 STARLIGHT WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 STARLIGHT WAY sales between September 2000 and June 2016 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 December 2005 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 42 STARLIGHT WAY be worth now?

42 STARLIGHT WAY might now be worth an estimated £754,722.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.7%, between June 2016 and December 2024, for semi-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 24.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 STARLIGHT WAY of £605,000 on 27th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £605,000 to £754,722 over the seven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 STARLIGHT WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The June 2016 sale price of £605,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
