8 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT 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 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT sales between December 2006 and July 2020 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 November 2016 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 8 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.5%, between July 2020 and February 2025, 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 20.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT of £985,000 on 10th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £985,000 to £1,187,093 over the five years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
