37 WEST HILL 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 three 37 WEST HILL sales between August 2001 and February 2021 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 July 2004 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 37 WEST HILL be worth now?

37 WEST HILL might now be worth an estimated £1,074,409.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.3%, between February 2021 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 14.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 37 WEST HILL of £940,000 on 26th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £940,000 to £1,074,409 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 37 WEST HILL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £940,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
