12 RANSOM 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 12 RANSOM CLOSE sales from August 2010 and September 2021 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 August 2010 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might 12 RANSOM CLOSE be worth now?

12 RANSOM CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £1,384,877.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.8%, between September 2021 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 10.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 RANSOM CLOSE of £1,250,000 on 29th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,250,000 to £1,384,877 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 RANSOM CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £1,250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
