23 HURST 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 23 HURST CLOSE sales from October 2012 and May 2016 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 2012 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 23 HURST CLOSE be worth now?

23 HURST CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £490,930.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.2%, between May 2016 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 29.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 HURST CLOSE of £380,000 on 26th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £490,930 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
