7 CARDINAL GROVE 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 three 7 CARDINAL GROVE sales between May 1996 and February 2011 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 2004 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the February 2011 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 7 CARDINAL GROVE be worth now?

7 CARDINAL GROVE might now be worth an estimated £1,095,022.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.6%, between February 2011 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 76.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 CARDINAL GROVE of £620,000 on 22nd February 2011. For the value to have increased from £620,000 to £1,095,022 over the twelve years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 CARDINAL GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The February 2011 sale price of £620,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
