15 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 THE DRIVE sales from April 2010 and September 2021 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 April 2010 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 15 THE DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 5.4%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 THE DRIVE of £715,000 on 30th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £715,000 to £753,602 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
