8 UPTON 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 two 8 UPTON CLOSE sales from October 1996 and September 2013 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 October 1996 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 8 UPTON CLOSE be worth now?

8 UPTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £464,810.

This is based on house price inflation of 69%, between September 2013 and May 2026, 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 69% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 UPTON CLOSE of £275,000 on 5th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £464,810 over the thirteen years and four months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 UPTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The September 2013 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
