21 FAIRFIELD 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 two 21 FAIRFIELD CLOSE sales from March 2014 and June 2022 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 March 2014 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 21 FAIRFIELD CLOSE be worth now?

21 FAIRFIELD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £666,491.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.6%, between June 2022 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 6.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 FAIRFIELD CLOSE of £625,000 on 17th June 2022. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £666,491 over the three years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 FAIRFIELD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The June 2022 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
