116 BENSLOW LANE 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 116 BENSLOW LANE sales between August 1995 and September 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 January 1999 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 116 BENSLOW LANE be worth now?
