68 MEADWAY 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 68 MEADWAY sales from May 2014 and July 2021 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 2014 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the July 2021 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 68 MEADWAY be worth now?

68 MEADWAY might now be worth an estimated £1,584,893.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.8%, between July 2021 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 12.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 68 MEADWAY of £1,405,000 on 26th July 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,405,000 to £1,584,893 over the two years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 68 MEADWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The July 2021 sale price of £1,405,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
