2A LANERCOST CLOSE 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 2A LANERCOST CLOSE sales from May 1999 and July 2007 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 1999 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it rises to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.

What might 2A LANERCOST CLOSE be worth now?

2A LANERCOST CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £1,459,200.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.1%, between July 2007 and March 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 80.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2A LANERCOST CLOSE of £810,000 on 3rd July 2007. For the value to have increased from £810,000 to £1,459,200 over the eighteen years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2A LANERCOST CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The July 2007 sale price of £810,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
