48 MARFORD ROAD 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 48 MARFORD ROAD sales between March 1996 and November 2013 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 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 48 MARFORD ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 68%, between November 2013 and February 2025, 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 68% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 48 MARFORD ROAD of £280,000 on 18th November 2013. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £470,299 over the twelve years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
