9 UPTON 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 five 9 UPTON CLOSE sales between January 1997 and March 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 June 2015 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 9 UPTON CLOSE be worth now?

9 UPTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £500,844.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.5%, between March 2021 and December 2024, 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 18.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 UPTON CLOSE of £422,500 on 19th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £422,500 to £500,844 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 9 UPTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £422,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 9 UPTON CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2021.
