WOODLANDS 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 two WOODLANDS sales from September 1996 and November 2021 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 1996 sale was for 129% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 129% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 137% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 137% above the HPI.

What might WOODLANDS be worth now?

WOODLANDS might now be worth an estimated £2,929,041.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.5%, between November 2021 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 8.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WOODLANDS of £2,700,000 on 12th November 2021. For the value to have increased from £2,700,000 to £2,929,041 over the four years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WOODLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £2,700,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WOODLANDS has not materially changed since November 2021.
