2 THE 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 three 2 THE CREST sales between November 1996 and January 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 September 2011 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE CREST be worth now?

2 THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £1,168,965.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.4%, between January 2021 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 4.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE CREST of £1,120,000 on 20th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,120,000 to £1,168,965 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Hertsmere local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £1,120,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE CREST has not materially changed since January 2021.
