29 WEST COMMON 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 four 29 WEST COMMON sales between July 1995 and November 2004 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 July 2001 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 29 WEST COMMON be worth now?

29 WEST COMMON might now be worth an estimated £603,806.

This is based on house price inflation of 129.6%, between November 2004 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 129.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 WEST COMMON of £263,000 on 5th November 2004. For the value to have increased from £263,000 to £603,806 over the 21 years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 29 WEST COMMON has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The November 2004 sale price of £263,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 29 WEST COMMON has not materially changed since November 2004.
