1 NEWTON 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 NEWTON CLOSE sales from October 2009 and June 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 2009 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 1 NEWTON CLOSE be worth now?

1 NEWTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £824,567.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.3%, between June 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 68.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 NEWTON CLOSE of £490,000 on 24th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £824,567 over the twelve years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 NEWTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 NEWTON CLOSE has not materially changed since June 2013.
