1 DUNCOTS 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 three 1 DUNCOTS CLOSE sales between November 1997 and August 2019 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 November 2004 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 1 DUNCOTS CLOSE be worth now?

1 DUNCOTS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £663,011.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.3%, between August 2019 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 17.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 DUNCOTS CLOSE of £565,000 on 15th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £565,000 to £663,011 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 DUNCOTS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £565,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
