31 THE SHRUBBERY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 31 THE SHRUBBERY sales between August 1995 and July 2010 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 2002 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might 31 THE SHRUBBERY be worth now?

31 THE SHRUBBERY might now be worth an estimated £300,787.

This is based on house price inflation of 88%, between July 2010 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 88% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 THE SHRUBBERY of £160,000 on 16th July 2010. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £300,787 over the fifteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 THE SHRUBBERY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The July 2010 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 31 THE SHRUBBERY has not materially changed since July 2010.
