26 BREADCROFT LANE 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 three 26 BREADCROFT LANE sales between January 1996 and May 2022 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 June 2014 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might 26 BREADCROFT LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6.9%, between May 2022 and February 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 6.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 BREADCROFT LANE of £1,070,000 on 12th May 2022. For the value to have increased from £1,070,000 to £1,144,141 over the three years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
