2 LINTEN CLOSE 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 four 2 LINTEN CLOSE sales between August 2002 and December 2019 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 October 2010 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 2 LINTEN CLOSE be worth now?

2 LINTEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £507,649.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.1%, between December 2019 and December 2024, for 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 18.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 LINTEN CLOSE of £430,000 on 3rd December 2019. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £507,649 over the five years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 LINTEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
