20 GIBSON CLOSE 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 GIBSON CLOSE sales from August 2009 and November 2013 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 August 2009 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 20 GIBSON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 70.6%, between November 2013 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 70.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 GIBSON CLOSE of £425,000 on 14th November 2013. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £724,851 over the ten years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
