26 CROSSWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 CROSSWAY sales between June 1999 and December 2011 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 August 2008 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 26 CROSSWAY be worth now?

26 CROSSWAY might now be worth an estimated £705,627.

This is based on house price inflation of 66%, between December 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 CROSSWAY of £425,000 on 19th December 2011. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £705,627 over the thirteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 CROSSWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The December 2011 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
