26 DIGSWELL ROAD 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 two 26 DIGSWELL ROAD sales from May 2016 and December 2020 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 2016 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 26 DIGSWELL ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.7%, between December 2020 and February 2025, 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 4.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 DIGSWELL ROAD of £900,000 on 9th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £900,000 to £941,890 over the five years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
