45 GROVE ROAD 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 three 45 GROVE ROAD sales between June 2011 and September 2020 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 September 2013 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, which was also at 6% above the HPI.

What might 45 GROVE ROAD be worth now?

45 GROVE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £498,230.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.5%, between September 2020 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 16.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 45 GROVE ROAD of £427,500 on 22nd September 2020. For the value to have increased from £427,500 to £498,230 over the three years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 45 GROVE ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2020 sale price of £427,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 45 GROVE ROAD has not materially changed since September 2020.
