26 ARMOUR RISE 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 four 26 ARMOUR RISE sales between July 1996 and May 2024 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 February 2017 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 26 ARMOUR RISE be worth now?

26 ARMOUR RISE might now be worth an estimated £523,572.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.9%, between May 2024 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 6.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 ARMOUR RISE of £490,000 on 31st May 2024. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £523,572 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 ARMOUR RISE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
