LONGLANDS 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 LONGLANDS sales from June 1995 and June 2023 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 June 1995 sale was for 58% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% below the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might LONGLANDS be worth now?

LONGLANDS might now be worth an estimated £626,418.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.9%, between June 2023 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 8.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONGLANDS of £575,000 on 6th June 2023. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £626,418 over the two years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONGLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The June 2023 sale price of £575,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONGLANDS has not materially changed since June 2023.
