129 HOWARD DRIVE 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 five 129 HOWARD DRIVE sales between May 2000 and May 2023 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 March 2017 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, which was also at 47% below the HPI.

What might 129 HOWARD DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 0.5%, between May 2023 and February 2025, 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 0.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 129 HOWARD DRIVE of £410,000 on 5th May 2023. For the value to have decreased from £410,000 to £407,976 over the two years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
