5 ICKNIELD 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 5 ICKNIELD CLOSE sales from December 2003 and October 2010 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 December 2003 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might 5 ICKNIELD CLOSE be worth now?
