2 BIRCH WAY 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 2 BIRCH WAY sales from May 1999 and April 2017 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 1999 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might 2 BIRCH WAY be worth now?

2 BIRCH WAY might now be worth an estimated £1,146,408.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.8%, between April 2017 and June 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 16.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BIRCH WAY of £981,575 on 6th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £981,575 to £1,146,408 over the seven years and ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 BIRCH WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £981,575 represented a fair market value for the property.
