8 ORCHARD AVENUE 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 8 ORCHARD AVENUE sales from August 2009 and March 2017 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 August 2009 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 104% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 104% above the HPI.

What might 8 ORCHARD AVENUE be worth now?

8 ORCHARD AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £2,524,706.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.3%, between March 2017 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 18.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ORCHARD AVENUE of £2,135,000 on 30th March 2017. For the value to have increased from £2,135,000 to £2,524,706 over the eight years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ORCHARD AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
