5 CROSS LANE 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 5 CROSS LANE sales from September 2011 and December 2014 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 2011 sale was for 168% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 168% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 153% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 153% above the HPI.

What might 5 CROSS LANE be worth now?

5 CROSS LANE might now be worth an estimated £3,125,637.

This is based on house price inflation of 42.1%, between December 2014 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 42.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CROSS LANE of £2,200,000 on 12th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £2,200,000 to £3,125,637 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 CROSS LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The December 2014 sale price of £2,200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 CROSS LANE has not materially changed since December 2014.
