5 LAVENDER CRESCENT 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 5 LAVENDER CRESCENT sales between December 2003 and March 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 June 2006 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 5 LAVENDER CRESCENT be worth now?

5 LAVENDER CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £549,617.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.5%, between March 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 74.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LAVENDER CRESCENT of £315,000 on 27th March 2013. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £549,617 over the twelve years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LAVENDER CRESCENT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The March 2013 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
