79 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 four 79 CHESTERTON AVENUE sales between February 2008 and January 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 November 2015 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, which was also at 11% below the HPI.

What might 79 CHESTERTON AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between January 2021 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 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 CHESTERTON AVENUE of £585,000 on 6th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £672,620 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
