17 FOVANT 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 three 17 FOVANT CLOSE sales between August 1997 and June 2020 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 May 2004 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 17 FOVANT CLOSE be worth now?

17 FOVANT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £690,495.

This is based on house price inflation of 18%, between June 2020 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 18% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 FOVANT CLOSE of £585,000 on 15th June 2020. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £690,495 over the five years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 FOVANT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The June 2020 sale price of £585,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
