HATCHING HALL 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 HATCHING HALL sales between February 1997 and December 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 November 1997 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might HATCHING HALL be worth now?

HATCHING HALL might now be worth an estimated £1,749,642.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.6%, between December 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 16.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HATCHING HALL of £1,500,000 on 7th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,500,000 to £1,749,642 over the eight years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HATCHING HALL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £1,500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HATCHING HALL has not materially changed since December 2017.
