7 BOWERS 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 7 BOWERS WAY sales from June 1995 and August 2008 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 June 1995 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the August 2008 sale, where it rises to 83% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 83% above the HPI.

What might 7 BOWERS WAY be worth now?

7 BOWERS WAY might now be worth an estimated £2,280,072.

This is based on house price inflation of 90.8%, between August 2008 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 90.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BOWERS WAY of £1,195,000 on 20th August 2008. For the value to have increased from £1,195,000 to £2,280,072 over the fifteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 BOWERS WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The August 2008 sale price of £1,195,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
