13 TRAHERNE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 13 TRAHERNE CLOSE sales between April 1997 and May 2012 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 October 2006 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 13 TRAHERNE CLOSE be worth now?

13 TRAHERNE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £425,427.

This is based on house price inflation of 85%, between May 2012 and December 2024, for semi-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 85% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 TRAHERNE CLOSE of £230,000 on 30th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £425,427 over the eleven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 13 TRAHERNE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
