53 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 53 LEYCROFT WAY sales between August 1996 and May 2022 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 January 2003 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 53 LEYCROFT WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6.3%, between May 2022 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 6.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 LEYCROFT WAY of £876,500 on 11th May 2022. For the value to have increased from £876,500 to £931,538 over the one year and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
