5 LANGBRIDGE CLOSE 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 5 LANGBRIDGE CLOSE sales between October 2007 and May 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 June 2009 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might 5 LANGBRIDGE CLOSE be worth now?

5 LANGBRIDGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £708,254.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.1%, between May 2016 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 31.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LANGBRIDGE CLOSE of £540,300 on 26th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £540,300 to £708,254 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LANGBRIDGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £540,300 represented a fair market value for the property.
