1 ROSECROFT LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 ROSECROFT LANE sales from September 1995 and July 2002 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 September 1995 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the July 2002 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 1 ROSECROFT LANE be worth now?

1 ROSECROFT LANE might now be worth an estimated £780,909.

This is based on house price inflation of 141%, between July 2002 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 141% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ROSECROFT LANE of £324,000 on 12th July 2002. For the value to have increased from £324,000 to £780,909 over the 23 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ROSECROFT LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The July 2002 sale price of £324,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 ROSECROFT LANE has not materially changed since July 2002.
