3 DESBOROUGH ROAD 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 three 3 DESBOROUGH ROAD sales between September 1997 and July 2004 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 October 2001 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 3 DESBOROUGH ROAD be worth now?

3 DESBOROUGH ROAD might now be worth an estimated £464,015.

This is based on house price inflation of 119.9%, between July 2004 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 119.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 DESBOROUGH ROAD of £211,000 on 22nd July 2004. For the value to have increased from £211,000 to £464,015 over the nineteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The July 2004 sale price of £211,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
