4 HIGH VIEW 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 three 4 HIGH VIEW sales between April 1999 and November 2020 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 November 2009 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.

What might 4 HIGH VIEW be worth now?

4 HIGH VIEW might now be worth an estimated £789,086.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.7%, between November 2020 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 12.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 HIGH VIEW of £700,000 on 23rd November 2020. For the value to have increased from £700,000 to £789,086 over the three years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 HIGH VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £700,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 HIGH VIEW has not materially changed since November 2020.
