18 KIPLING WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 KIPLING WAY sales from September 1996 and March 2000 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 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the March 2000 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 18 KIPLING WAY be worth now?

18 KIPLING WAY might now be worth an estimated £620,257.

This is based on house price inflation of 287.8%, between March 2000 and June 2025, for terraced 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 287.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 KIPLING WAY of £159,950 on 29th March 2000. For the value to have increased from £159,950 to £620,257 over the 24 years and nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 KIPLING WAY has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The March 2000 sale price of £159,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 KIPLING WAY has not materially changed since March 2000.
