6 MEADOW WALK 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 five 6 MEADOW WALK sales between August 1996 and October 2012 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 November 2010 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 6 MEADOW WALK be worth now?

6 MEADOW WALK might now be worth an estimated £938,909.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.7%, between October 2012 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 70.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 MEADOW WALK of £550,000 on 2nd October 2012. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £938,909 over the thirteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 MEADOW WALK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The October 2012 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
