39 HARKNESS WAY 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 39 HARKNESS WAY sales from July 2006 and May 2015 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 2006 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 39 HARKNESS WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 49.9%, between May 2015 and December 2024, 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 49.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 39 HARKNESS WAY of £385,000 on 18th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £577,244 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The May 2015 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
