14 STIRLING 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 two 14 STIRLING CLOSE sales from December 1996 and May 2002 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 December 1996 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 14 STIRLING CLOSE be worth now?

14 STIRLING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £419,618.

This is based on house price inflation of 206.3%, between May 2002 and February 2025, 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 206.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 STIRLING CLOSE of £137,000 on 23rd May 2002. For the value to have increased from £137,000 to £419,618 over the 23 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 14 STIRLING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2002 sale price of £137,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
