ROESTOCK COTTAGE 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 ROESTOCK COTTAGE sales between July 2006 and January 2025 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 2017 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might ROESTOCK COTTAGE be worth now?

ROESTOCK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,013,570.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.4%, between January 2025 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 1.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROESTOCK COTTAGE of £1,000,000 on 9th January 2025. For the value to have increased from £1,000,000 to £1,013,570 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROESTOCK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The January 2025 sale price of £1,000,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROESTOCK COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2025.
