12 WINSTON 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 three 12 WINSTON CLOSE sales between September 1998 and November 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 January 2000 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 12 WINSTON CLOSE be worth now?

12 WINSTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £612,338.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.6%, between November 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 16.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 WINSTON CLOSE of £525,000 on 24th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £612,338 over the six years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 WINSTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
