18 BROOK VIEW 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 18 BROOK VIEW sales from February 1997 and January 2002 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 February 1997 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the January 2002 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 18 BROOK VIEW be worth now?

18 BROOK VIEW might now be worth an estimated £547,380.

This is based on house price inflation of 204.1%, between January 2002 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 204.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 BROOK VIEW of £180,000 on 29th January 2002. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £547,380 over the 21 years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 BROOK VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2002 sale price of £180,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
