2 BITTERN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 BITTERN CLOSE sales between February 2001 and August 2017 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 2010 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might 2 BITTERN CLOSE be worth now?

2 BITTERN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £500,364.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between August 2017 and December 2024, for 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BITTERN CLOSE of £420,000 on 22nd August 2017. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £500,364 over the six years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 BITTERN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
