1 FREEWATERS 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 two 1 FREEWATERS CLOSE sales from December 2000 and October 2011 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 December 2000 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 1 FREEWATERS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.1%, between October 2011 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 78.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 FREEWATERS CLOSE of £390,000 on 7th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £694,644 over the fourteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
