1 THE CHOWNS 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 1 THE CHOWNS sales from November 2002 and December 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 November 2002 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 92% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 92% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE CHOWNS be worth now?

1 THE CHOWNS might now be worth an estimated £2,289,541.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.8%, between December 2021 and June 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 4.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE CHOWNS of £2,185,000 on 15th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £2,185,000 to £2,289,541 over the four years and six months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE CHOWNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £2,185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE CHOWNS has not materially changed since December 2021.
