13 BLAKE 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 four 13 BLAKE CLOSE sales between July 1998 and November 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 October 2018 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might 13 BLAKE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 0.5%, between November 2024 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 0.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 BLAKE CLOSE of £775,000 on 29th November 2024. For the value to have increased from £775,000 to £778,997 over the one year and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
