5 HIGH ELMS 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 HIGH ELMS sales from May 1995 and April 2017 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 May 1995 sale was for 175% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 175% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 163% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 163% above the HPI.

What might 5 HIGH ELMS be worth now?

5 HIGH ELMS might now be worth an estimated £3,256,724.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.4%, between April 2017 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 18.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 HIGH ELMS of £2,750,000 on 13th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £2,750,000 to £3,256,724 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 HIGH ELMS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £2,750,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 HIGH ELMS has not materially changed since April 2017.
