98 GROVE 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 two 98 GROVE ROAD sales from August 2001 and September 2011 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 2001 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 98 GROVE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.8%, between September 2011 and February 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 78.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 98 GROVE ROAD of £395,000 on 30th September 2011. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £706,343 over the fourteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
