20 BROOK VIEW 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 two 20 BROOK VIEW sales from May 1997 and May 2001 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 May 1997 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the May 2001 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 20 BROOK VIEW be worth now?

20 BROOK VIEW might now be worth an estimated £502,328.

This is based on house price inflation of 258.8%, between May 2001 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 258.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 BROOK VIEW of £140,000 on 4th May 2001. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £502,328 over the 22 years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 BROOK VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2001 sale price of £140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
