22 FIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 22 FIELD CLOSE sales between March 1998 and February 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 September 2016 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might 22 FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

22 FIELD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £717,957.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.9%, between February 2020 and June 2025, for 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 14.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 FIELD CLOSE of £625,000 on 20th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £717,957 over the four years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 22 FIELD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
