1 CHAUCER CLOSE 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 1 CHAUCER CLOSE sales from March 2009 and May 2012 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 2009 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might 1 CHAUCER CLOSE be worth now?

1 CHAUCER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £1,182,615.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.6%, between May 2012 and October 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 72.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 CHAUCER CLOSE of £685,000 on 24th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £685,000 to £1,182,615 over the twelve years and seven months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 CHAUCER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £685,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
