5 SHEPPARDS 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 four 5 SHEPPARDS CLOSE sales between May 1996 and October 2023 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 July 2004 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might 5 SHEPPARDS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2.7%, between October 2023 and June 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 2.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SHEPPARDS CLOSE of £990,000 on 13th October 2023. For the value to have increased from £990,000 to £1,016,677 over the two years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
