3 DOVE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 DOVE LANE sales from September 1995 and October 1997 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 September 1995 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the October 1997 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 3 DOVE LANE be worth now?

3 DOVE LANE might now be worth an estimated £650,801.

This is based on house price inflation of 412.4%, between October 1997 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Hertsmere local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 412.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 DOVE LANE of £127,000 on 6th October 1997. For the value to have increased from £127,000 to £650,801 over the 26 years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 DOVE LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Hertsmere local authority area.
• The October 1997 sale price of £127,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
