51 LEYCROFT WAY 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 51 LEYCROFT WAY sales between August 2003 and December 2011 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 2008 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 51 LEYCROFT WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 80.1%, between December 2011 and December 2024, 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 80.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 51 LEYCROFT WAY of £490,000 on 19th December 2011. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £882,463 over the thirteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
