6 WEST COMMON 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 two 6 WEST COMMON WAY sales from July 2006 and February 2023 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 July 2006 sale was for 209% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 209% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 174% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 174% above the HPI.

What might 6 WEST COMMON WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2.6%, between February 2023 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 2.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 WEST COMMON WAY of £3,300,000 on 16th February 2023. For the value to have increased from £3,300,000 to £3,385,959 over the two years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 WEST COMMON WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
