17 LARKINS 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 17 LARKINS CLOSE sales from October 1997 and January 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 October 1997 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 17 LARKINS CLOSE be worth now?

17 LARKINS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £307,352.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.8%, between January 2021 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 11.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 LARKINS CLOSE of £275,000 on 20th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £307,352 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 LARKINS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
