1 DEVA 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 two 1 DEVA CLOSE sales from October 2006 and October 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 2006 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 1 DEVA CLOSE be worth now?

1 DEVA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £1,098,299.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.9%, between October 2013 and February 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 63.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 DEVA CLOSE of £670,000 on 25th October 2013. For the value to have increased from £670,000 to £1,098,299 over the twelve years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
