13 THE RIDGEWAY 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 13 THE RIDGEWAY sales from June 1998 and October 2018 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 June 1998 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 13 THE RIDGEWAY be worth now?

13 THE RIDGEWAY might now be worth an estimated £774,148.

This is based on house price inflation of 13%, between October 2018 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 13% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 THE RIDGEWAY of £685,250 on 19th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £685,250 to £774,148 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 13 THE RIDGEWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2018 sale price of £685,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
