5 CAPE ROAD 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 5 CAPE ROAD sales between April 1996 and March 2023 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 April 2006 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might 5 CAPE ROAD be worth now?

5 CAPE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £663,316.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.4%, between March 2023 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 2.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CAPE ROAD of £647,500 on 31st March 2023. For the value to have increased from £647,500 to £663,316 over the two years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 CAPE ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
