18 LYSANDER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 LYSANDER CLOSE sales from March 1995 and December 2012 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 March 1995 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might 18 LYSANDER CLOSE be worth now?

18 LYSANDER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £652,266.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.4%, between December 2012 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 86.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 LYSANDER CLOSE of £350,000 on 14th December 2012. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £652,266 over the thirteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 LYSANDER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The December 2012 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
