29A BENSLOW 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 two 29A BENSLOW RISE sales from March 2000 and February 2012 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 March 2000 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 29A BENSLOW RISE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.9%, between February 2012 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 78.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29A BENSLOW RISE of £515,000 on 10th February 2012. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £921,213 over the eleven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The February 2012 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
