4 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from April 2013 and November 2013 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 April 2013 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 4 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

4 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £691,698.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.7%, between November 2013 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Hertsmere local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 ORCHARD CLOSE of £415,000 on 1st November 2013. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £691,698 over the twelve years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
