8 BRIGHTVIEW 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 8 BRIGHTVIEW CLOSE sales between July 1995 and January 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 August 2000 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.

What might 8 BRIGHTVIEW CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 97.7%, between January 2010 and December 2024, 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 97.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BRIGHTVIEW CLOSE of £280,000 on 29th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £553,425 over the thirteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
