4 LION YARD 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 LION YARD sales from November 1998 and December 2016 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 1998 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 4 LION YARD be worth now?

4 LION YARD might now be worth an estimated £623,703.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.1%, between December 2016 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 21.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 LION YARD of £515,000 on 8th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £623,703 over the eight years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 LION YARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
