8 ROWAN WAY 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 8 ROWAN WAY sales between November 1998 and September 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 January 2010 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, which was also at 32% above the HPI.

What might 8 ROWAN WAY be worth now?

8 ROWAN WAY might now be worth an estimated £965,991.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.5%, between September 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 29.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ROWAN WAY of £746,000 on 14th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £746,000 to £965,991 over the ten years and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ROWAN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £746,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 ROWAN WAY has not materially changed since September 2015.
