51 ORIENT 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 five 51 ORIENT CLOSE sales between March 1997 and July 2016 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 2012 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, which was also at 3% below the HPI.

What might 51 ORIENT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 16.6%, between July 2016 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 16.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 51 ORIENT CLOSE of £460,100 on 12th July 2016. For the value to have increased from £460,100 to £536,267 over the nine years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 51 ORIENT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the St Albans local authority area.
