86 CHESTERTON AVENUE 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 four 86 CHESTERTON AVENUE sales between June 1995 and May 2014 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 July 2001 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 86 CHESTERTON AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 58.7%, between May 2014 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 58.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 86 CHESTERTON AVENUE of £720,000 on 12th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £720,000 to £1,142,735 over the nine years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
