7 LILAC 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 five 7 LILAC WAY sales between June 1995 and April 2022 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 October 2015 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 7 LILAC WAY be worth now?

7 LILAC WAY might now be worth an estimated £893,246.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.7%, between April 2022 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 5.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 LILAC WAY of £845,000 on 14th April 2022. For the value to have increased from £845,000 to £893,246 over the one year and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 LILAC WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
