5 SANDY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 SANDY CLOSE sales between March 1999 and October 2019 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 2011 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 5 SANDY CLOSE be worth now?

5 SANDY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £969,354.

This is based on house price inflation of 14%, between October 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the East Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SANDY CLOSE of £850,000 on 7th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £850,000 to £969,354 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SANDY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £850,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
