16 ARMOUR RISE 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 three 16 ARMOUR RISE sales between November 2002 and October 2019 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 August 2009 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 16 ARMOUR RISE be worth now?

16 ARMOUR RISE might now be worth an estimated £446,925.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.2%, between October 2019 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 19.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 ARMOUR RISE of £375,000 on 25th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £446,925 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 ARMOUR RISE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 ARMOUR RISE has not materially changed since October 2019.
