The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 ARMOUR RISE sales from December 1997 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 December 1997 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
28 ARMOUR RISE might now be worth an estimated £685,175.
This is based on house price inflation of 10.5%, between December 2020 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 10.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 ARMOUR RISE of £620,000 on 10th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £620,000 to £685,175 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
