37 BENSLOW RISE 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 37 BENSLOW RISE sales from April 1997 and December 2004 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 April 1997 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the December 2004 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 37 BENSLOW RISE be worth now?

37 BENSLOW RISE might now be worth an estimated £1,075,158.

This is based on house price inflation of 115%, between December 2004 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 115% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 37 BENSLOW RISE of £500,000 on 17th December 2004. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £1,075,158 over the twenty years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 37 BENSLOW RISE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2004 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
