8 SPENSER ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 SPENSER ROAD sales between February 2001 and July 2019 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 May 2012 sale was for 150% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 150% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 110% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 110% above the HPI.

What might 8 SPENSER ROAD be worth now?

8 SPENSER ROAD might now be worth an estimated £1,582,090.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.7%, between July 2019 and February 2025, for semi-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 21.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 SPENSER ROAD of £1,300,000 on 16th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £1,300,000 to £1,582,090 over the six years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 SPENSER ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £1,300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
