32 LEA ROAD 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 32 LEA ROAD sales between September 2004 and December 2023 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 2017 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 102% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 102% above the HPI.

What might 32 LEA ROAD be worth now?

32 LEA ROAD might now be worth an estimated £1,530,950.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.4%, between December 2023 and May 2026, 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 7.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 LEA ROAD of £1,425,000 on 15th December 2023. For the value to have increased from £1,425,000 to £1,530,950 over the three years and seven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 32 LEA ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The December 2023 sale price of £1,425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
