20 APLINS 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 four 20 APLINS CLOSE sales between November 1999 and August 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 2013 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, which was also at 14% above the HPI.

What might 20 APLINS CLOSE be worth now?

20 APLINS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £626,718.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.9%, between August 2015 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 31.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 APLINS CLOSE of £475,000 on 14th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £626,718 over the ten years and two months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 APLINS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
