2 EVANS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 EVANS CLOSE sales from December 2001 and May 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 December 2001 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 2 EVANS CLOSE be worth now?

2 EVANS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £334,787.

This is based on house price inflation of 81%, between May 2012 and February 2025, for semi-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 81% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 EVANS CLOSE of £185,000 on 21st May 2012. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £334,787 over the thirteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 EVANS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
