1B PURWELL LANE 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 1B PURWELL LANE sales from April 1999 and October 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 1999 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 1B PURWELL LANE be worth now?

The 68.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1B PURWELL LANE of £399,995 on 16th October 2013. For the value to have increased from £399,995 to £673,282 over the twelve years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
