22 GORST 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 three 22 GORST CLOSE sales between February 1995 and January 2011 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 December 2005 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 22 GORST CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.5%, between January 2011 and June 2025, 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 78.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 GORST CLOSE of £287,000 on 28th January 2011. For the value to have increased from £287,000 to £512,367 over the thirteen years and seven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
