45 BROWNING DRIVE 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 five 45 BROWNING DRIVE sales between April 2001 and April 2022 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 February 2021 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 45 BROWNING DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 8.4%, between April 2022 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 8.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 45 BROWNING DRIVE of £500,000 on 20th April 2022. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £542,106 over the one year and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 45 BROWNING DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2022 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
