5 CHESTERTON AVENUE 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 seven 5 CHESTERTON AVENUE sales between July 1997 and January 2023 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 July 2019 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 5 CHESTERTON AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 3.6%, between January 2023 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 3.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CHESTERTON AVENUE of £732,500 on 27th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £732,500 to £759,232 over the one year and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
