1 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 three 1 UPTON CLOSE sales between January 1996 and August 2024 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 2018 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 1 UPTON CLOSE be worth now?

1 UPTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £467,522.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.9%, between August 2024 and February 2025, 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 3.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 UPTON CLOSE of £450,000 on 30th August 2024. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £467,522 over the one year and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 UPTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 UPTON CLOSE has not materially changed since August 2024.
