20 BROADMEAD 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 three 20 BROADMEAD sales between June 2007 and December 2018 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 2012 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 20 BROADMEAD be worth now?

20 BROADMEAD might now be worth an estimated £661,483.

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between December 2018 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 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 BROADMEAD of £575,000 on 13th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £661,483 over the six years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 BROADMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £575,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 20 BROADMEAD has not materially changed since December 2018.
