5 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from January 2003 and August 2013 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 2003 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 5 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

5 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £1,102,252.

This is based on house price inflation of 52%, between August 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 52% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ORCHARD CLOSE of £725,000 on 22nd August 2013. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £1,102,252 over the twelve years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 ORCHARD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The August 2013 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
