4 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 4 ORCHARD CLOSE sales between January 1997 and January 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 April 2014 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might 4 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 28.9%, between January 2016 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the East Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 ORCHARD CLOSE of £587,500 on 29th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £587,500 to £757,571 over the eight years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
