20 BLACKHORSE LANE 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 two 20 BLACKHORSE LANE sales from June 2005 and July 2009 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 June 2005 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 20 BLACKHORSE LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 106.4%, between July 2009 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 106.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 BLACKHORSE LANE of £315,000 on 2nd July 2009. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £650,043 over the fourteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The July 2009 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
