19 RUNCIE CLOSE 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 two 19 RUNCIE CLOSE sales from June 1996 and September 1999 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 June 1996 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the September 1999 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 19 RUNCIE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 325.9%, between September 1999 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 325.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 RUNCIE CLOSE of £114,000 on 24th September 1999. For the value to have increased from £114,000 to £485,535 over the 26 years and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 19 RUNCIE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The September 1999 sale price of £114,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
