2 HILL CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 HILL CREST sales from April 2007 and August 2014 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 2007 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 2 HILL CREST be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 37.8%, between August 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Hertsmere local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 37.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 HILL CREST of £495,000 on 4th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £681,893 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 2014 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
