20 BELL LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 BELL LANE sales from January 2006 and July 2012 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 January 2006 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 20 BELL LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.2%, between July 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 BELL LANE of £542,500 on 20th July 2012. For the value to have increased from £542,500 to £966,551 over the thirteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
