3 KINGFISHER 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 3 KINGFISHER CLOSE sales from April 2002 and April 2015 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 April 2002 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 3 KINGFISHER CLOSE be worth now?

3 KINGFISHER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £1,014,678.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.9%, between April 2015 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 41.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 KINGFISHER CLOSE of £715,000 on 23rd April 2015. For the value to have increased from £715,000 to £1,014,678 over the ten years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
