5 DOUGLAS 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 six 5 DOUGLAS ROAD sales between July 2001 and June 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 September 2014 sale was for 83% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 83% above the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 131% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 131% above the HPI.

What might 5 DOUGLAS ROAD be worth now?

5 DOUGLAS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £1,743,076.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.9%, between June 2023 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 8.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 DOUGLAS ROAD of £1,600,000 on 6th June 2023. For the value to have increased from £1,600,000 to £1,743,076 over the two years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 DOUGLAS ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The June 2023 sale price of £1,600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
