19 BESSEMER CLOSE 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 three 19 BESSEMER CLOSE sales between February 1995 and August 2024 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 2001 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 19 BESSEMER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 3.5%, between August 2024 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 3.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 BESSEMER CLOSE of £775,000 on 21st August 2024. For the value to have increased from £775,000 to £802,421 over the one year and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 19 BESSEMER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £775,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
