1 BLAKE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 1 BLAKE CLOSE sales between May 1997 and March 2024 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 March 2021 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 1 BLAKE CLOSE be worth now?

1 BLAKE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £535,049.

This is based on house price inflation of 6%, between March 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BLAKE CLOSE of £505,000 on 15th March 2024. For the value to have increased from £505,000 to £535,049 over the one year and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 BLAKE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2024 sale price of £505,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 BLAKE CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2024.
