8 TOVEY 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 three 8 TOVEY CLOSE sales between March 1999 and October 2011 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 2005 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 58% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% below the HPI.

What might 8 TOVEY CLOSE be worth now?

8 TOVEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £498,078.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.8%, between October 2011 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 68.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 TOVEY CLOSE of £295,000 on 7th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £498,078 over the fourteen years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 TOVEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The October 2011 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
