3 MIDDLE DRIFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 MIDDLE DRIFT sales from March 2008 and October 2009 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 2008 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might 3 MIDDLE DRIFT be worth now?

3 MIDDLE DRIFT might now be worth an estimated £659,020.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.7%, between October 2009 and February 2025, for semi-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 99.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MIDDLE DRIFT of £330,000 on 23rd October 2009. For the value to have increased from £330,000 to £659,020 over the sixteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 MIDDLE DRIFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £330,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 MIDDLE DRIFT has not materially changed since October 2009.
