2 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 2 NEWTON CLOSE sales from May 2002 and April 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 May 2002 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might 2 NEWTON CLOSE be worth now?

2 NEWTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £637,203.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.2%, between April 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 6.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 NEWTON CLOSE of £600,000 on 26th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £637,203 over the one year and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 NEWTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 NEWTON CLOSE has not materially changed since April 2024.
