12 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 THE DRIVE sales from April 2004 and January 2022 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 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 12 THE DRIVE be worth now?

12 THE DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £578,841.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.2%, between January 2022 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Hertsmere local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 THE DRIVE of £580,000 on 27th January 2022. For the value to have decreased from £580,000 to £578,841 over the one year and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 THE DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Hertsmere local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £580,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
