9 BLAKE 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 9 BLAKE CLOSE sales between April 2001 and February 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 October 2013 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 9 BLAKE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 15.6%, between February 2021 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 15.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 BLAKE CLOSE of £800,000 on 12th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £800,000 to £925,009 over the four years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
