50A TOWNSEND 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 three 50A TOWNSEND LANE sales between February 1995 and May 2010 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 March 2004 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might 50A TOWNSEND LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 86.1%, between May 2010 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 86.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 50A TOWNSEND LANE of £1,095,000 on 20th May 2010. For the value to have increased from £1,095,000 to £2,037,518 over the fifteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 50A TOWNSEND LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The May 2010 sale price of £1,095,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
