KINGSWOOD 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 two KINGSWOOD sales from September 2010 and August 2013 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 September 2010 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it falls to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.

What might KINGSWOOD be worth now?

KINGSWOOD might now be worth an estimated £1,222,936.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.7%, between August 2013 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 68.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for KINGSWOOD of £725,000 on 9th August 2013. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £1,222,936 over the twelve years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KINGSWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The August 2013 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of KINGSWOOD has not materially changed since August 2013.
