8 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 8 ICKNIELD CLOSE sales from August 1999 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 1999 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might 8 ICKNIELD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 99%, between January 2010 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 99% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ICKNIELD CLOSE of £560,000 on 11th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £560,000 to £1,114,433 over the fourteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
