14 CONVENT 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 two 14 CONVENT CLOSE sales from March 1999 and November 2005 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 1999 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 14 CONVENT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 111.7%, between November 2005 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 111.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 CONVENT CLOSE of £297,500 on 10th November 2005. For the value to have increased from £297,500 to £629,836 over the eighteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
