24 LANCASTER AVENUE 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 24 LANCASTER AVENUE sales from May 2008 and November 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 May 2008 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 24 LANCASTER AVENUE be worth now?

24 LANCASTER AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £1,079,732.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.7%, between November 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 18.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 24 LANCASTER AVENUE of £910,000 on 1st November 2019. For the value to have increased from £910,000 to £1,079,732 over the four years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 24 LANCASTER AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £910,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 24 LANCASTER AVENUE has not materially changed since November 2019.
