4 LAUREL WAY 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 4 LAUREL WAY sales from October 1997 and May 2011 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 October 1997 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, which was also at 13% below the HPI.

What might 4 LAUREL WAY be worth now?

4 LAUREL WAY might now be worth an estimated £676,016.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.9%, between May 2011 and February 2025, 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 77.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 LAUREL WAY of £380,000 on 20th May 2011. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £676,016 over the fourteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 LAUREL WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2011 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
