59 TOPSTREET WAY 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 59 TOPSTREET WAY sales between November 1999 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 May 2004 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might 59 TOPSTREET WAY be worth now?

59 TOPSTREET WAY might now be worth an estimated £1,106,047.

This is based on house price inflation of 92.4%, between May 2010 and December 2024, 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 92.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 59 TOPSTREET WAY of £575,000 on 10th May 2010. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £1,106,047 over the thirteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 59 TOPSTREET WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The May 2010 sale price of £575,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
