30 GIBSON CLOSE 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 two 30 GIBSON CLOSE sales from September 1999 and March 2021 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 1999 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 30 GIBSON CLOSE be worth now?

30 GIBSON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £910,227.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.2%, between March 2021 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 15.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 30 GIBSON CLOSE of £790,000 on 9th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £790,000 to £910,227 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 30 GIBSON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
