33 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 two 33 WEST COMMON sales from August 1997 and June 2001 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 August 1997 sale was for 103% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 103% above the HPI over time, until the June 2001 sale, where it rises to 115% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 115% above the HPI.

What might 33 WEST COMMON be worth now?

33 WEST COMMON might now be worth an estimated £1,184,341.

This is based on house price inflation of 238.4%, between June 2001 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 238.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 33 WEST COMMON of £350,000 on 19th June 2001. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £1,184,341 over the 24 years to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 33 WEST COMMON has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The June 2001 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
