37 POPPYFIELDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 37 POPPYFIELDS sales from January 2006 and September 2017 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 January 2006 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might 37 POPPYFIELDS be worth now?

The 10.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 37 POPPYFIELDS of £440,000 on 6th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £487,680 over the six years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
