32 SWIFT CLOSE 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 32 SWIFT CLOSE sales from August 1998 and December 2005 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 August 1998 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the December 2005 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 32 SWIFT CLOSE be worth now?

32 SWIFT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £364,260.

This is based on house price inflation of 111.2%, between December 2005 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 111.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 SWIFT CLOSE of £172,500 on 20th December 2005. For the value to have increased from £172,500 to £364,260 over the twenty years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 32 SWIFT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2005 sale price of £172,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
