2 PERIWINKLE LANE 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 three 2 PERIWINKLE LANE sales between February 1995 and January 2003 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 September 1998 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2003 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 2 PERIWINKLE LANE be worth now?

2 PERIWINKLE LANE might now be worth an estimated £427,745.

This is based on house price inflation of 170.7%, between January 2003 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 170.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 PERIWINKLE LANE of £158,000 on 27th January 2003. For the value to have increased from £158,000 to £427,745 over the twenty years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 PERIWINKLE LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2003 sale price of £158,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 PERIWINKLE LANE has not materially changed since January 2003.
