18 DOUGLAS WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 18 DOUGLAS WAY sales between July 1997 and June 2013 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 April 2010 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 18 DOUGLAS WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.8%, between June 2013 and July 2025, for terraced houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 DOUGLAS WAY of £175,000 on 7th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £300,575 over the eleven years and eleven months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
