5 AMBERLEY 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 5 AMBERLEY CLOSE sales from June 2001 and May 2021 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 June 2001 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 5 AMBERLEY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 16.4%, between May 2021 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 16.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 AMBERLEY CLOSE of £905,000 on 24th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £905,000 to £1,053,711 over the four years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
