7 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 three 7 AMBERLEY CLOSE sales between June 1996 and August 2009 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 November 2003 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 7 AMBERLEY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 114.6%, between August 2009 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 114.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 AMBERLEY CLOSE of £570,000 on 27th August 2009. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £1,223,040 over the sixteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
