159 GREEN DRIFT 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 four 159 GREEN DRIFT sales between March 2007 and April 2024 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 June 2018 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 159 GREEN DRIFT be worth now?

159 GREEN DRIFT might now be worth an estimated £404,221.

This is based on house price inflation of 5%, between April 2024 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 5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 GREEN DRIFT of £385,000 on 10th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £404,221 over the one year and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 159 GREEN DRIFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 159 GREEN DRIFT has not materially changed since April 2024.
