31 MONKSWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 MONKSWOOD sales between March 2000 and May 2014 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 February 2009 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 31 MONKSWOOD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 55%, between May 2014 and December 2024, for semi-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 55% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 MONKSWOOD of £355,000 on 23rd May 2014. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £550,284 over the nine years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 MONKSWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
