23 PIRTON ROAD 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 PIRTON ROAD sales from October 2004 and July 2019 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 2004 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.

What might 23 PIRTON ROAD be worth now?

23 PIRTON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £1,579,232.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.2%, between July 2019 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 19.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 PIRTON ROAD of £1,325,000 on 31st July 2019. For the value to have increased from £1,325,000 to £1,579,232 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 PIRTON ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £1,325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
