17 SCHOOLFIELDS 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 two 17 SCHOOLFIELDS sales from July 1996 and September 1997 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 July 1996 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the September 1997 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 17 SCHOOLFIELDS be worth now?

17 SCHOOLFIELDS might now be worth an estimated £734,590.

This is based on house price inflation of 406.6%, between September 1997 and February 2025, 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 406.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 SCHOOLFIELDS of £145,000 on 26th September 1997. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £734,590 over the 28 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 SCHOOLFIELDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 1997 sale price of £145,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 SCHOOLFIELDS has not materially changed since September 1997.
