156 CAMBRIDGE ROAD 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 seven 156 CAMBRIDGE ROAD sales between June 1996 and March 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 September 2015 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 156 CAMBRIDGE ROAD be worth now?

156 CAMBRIDGE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £600,111.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.4%, between March 2021 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 15.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 156 CAMBRIDGE ROAD of £520,000 on 25th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £520,000 to £600,111 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 156 CAMBRIDGE ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £520,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
