5 HERON WAY 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 5 HERON WAY sales from January 2005 and March 2014 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 January 2005 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 5 HERON WAY be worth now?

5 HERON WAY might now be worth an estimated £482,885.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.1%, between March 2014 and February 2025, 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 63.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 HERON WAY of £296,000 on 27th March 2014. For the value to have increased from £296,000 to £482,885 over the eleven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The March 2014 sale price of £296,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
