34 FURZE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 34 FURZE CLOSE sales between March 1995 and May 2019 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 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 34 FURZE CLOSE be worth now?

34 FURZE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £296,359.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.8%, between May 2019 and July 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 FURZE CLOSE of £265,000 on 20th May 2019. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £296,359 over the five years and ten months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 34 FURZE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The May 2019 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
