2 LATCHMORE 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 LATCHMORE CLOSE sales from April 2011 and September 2021 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 2011 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might 2 LATCHMORE CLOSE be worth now?

2 LATCHMORE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £593,622.

This is based on house price inflation of 12%, between September 2021 and December 2024, 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 12% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 LATCHMORE CLOSE of £530,000 on 22nd September 2021. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £593,622 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 LATCHMORE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £530,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
