20 LATCHMORE CLOSE 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 LATCHMORE CLOSE sales from October 2008 and May 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 October 2008 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 20 LATCHMORE CLOSE be worth now?

20 LATCHMORE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £465,737.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.3%, between May 2013 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 86.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 LATCHMORE CLOSE of £249,995 on 17th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £249,995 to £465,737 over the ten years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 LATCHMORE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £249,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
