49 CHESTNUT DRIVE 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 49 CHESTNUT DRIVE sales from November 2010 and January 2015 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 November 2010 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 49 CHESTNUT DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 38.5%, between January 2015 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 38.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 49 CHESTNUT DRIVE of £585,000 on 9th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £810,108 over the nine years and seven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
