24 PRIORY WAY 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 PRIORY WAY sales from October 1996 and September 2012 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 1996 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.

What might 24 PRIORY WAY be worth now?

24 PRIORY WAY might now be worth an estimated £1,279,834.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.8%, between September 2012 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 77.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 24 PRIORY WAY of £720,000 on 26th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £720,000 to £1,279,834 over the eleven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 24 PRIORY WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £720,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 24 PRIORY WAY has not materially changed since September 2012.
