5 HERON 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 three 5 HERON CLOSE sales between May 2015 and November 2025 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 2021 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the November 2025 sale, which was also at 5% below the HPI.

What might 5 HERON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2.1%, between November 2025 and April 2026, 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 2.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 HERON CLOSE of £525,000 on 20th November 2025. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £536,174 over the one year and seven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
