11 MATTHEW GATE 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 four 11 MATTHEW GATE sales between August 1997 and May 2017 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 April 2004 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 11 MATTHEW GATE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between May 2017 and December 2024, 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 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 11 MATTHEW GATE of £535,000 on 12th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £535,000 to £667,894 over the six years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
