3 CHESTER 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 five 3 CHESTER CLOSE sales between January 1997 and November 2013 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 November 2002 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 3 CHESTER CLOSE be worth now?

3 CHESTER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £951,608.

This is based on house price inflation of 56%, between November 2013 and December 2024, 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 56% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 CHESTER CLOSE of £610,000 on 13th November 2013. For the value to have increased from £610,000 to £951,608 over the ten years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 CHESTER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The November 2013 sale price of £610,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 CHESTER CLOSE has not materially changed since November 2013.
