45 FORGE END 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 45 FORGE END sales from September 1997 and July 2015 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 1997 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 45 FORGE END be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 38.4%, between July 2015 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 38.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 45 FORGE END of £730,000 on 10th July 2015. For the value to have increased from £730,000 to £1,010,672 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
