8 THE POPLARS 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 8 THE POPLARS sales between May 1999 and November 2020 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 March 2017 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 8 THE POPLARS be worth now?

8 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £506,592.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.8%, between November 2020 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 13.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE POPLARS of £445,000 on 17th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £506,592 over the five years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 THE POPLARS has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
