28 HERON WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 28 HERON WAY sales between December 2006 and August 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 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 28 HERON WAY be worth now?

28 HERON WAY might now be worth an estimated £446,398.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.6%, between August 2011 and December 2024, for semi-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 78.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 HERON WAY of £250,000 on 31st August 2011. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £446,398 over the twelve years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 28 HERON WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The August 2011 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
