18 TOVEY 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 18 TOVEY CLOSE sales from February 1999 and April 2010 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 February 1999 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the April 2010 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might 18 TOVEY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 87.7%, between April 2010 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 87.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 TOVEY CLOSE of £335,000 on 6th April 2010. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £628,933 over the fifteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 TOVEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The April 2010 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
