8 FLORA 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 8 FLORA GROVE sales between January 1995 and May 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 March 2002 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might 8 FLORA GROVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 80.4%, between May 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 80.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 FLORA GROVE of £825,000 on 27th May 2011. For the value to have increased from £825,000 to £1,488,575 over the twelve years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
