5 SANDY GROVE 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 SANDY GROVE sales from October 2001 and March 2012 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 October 2001 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 5 SANDY GROVE be worth now?

5 SANDY GROVE might now be worth an estimated £887,774.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.6%, between March 2012 and December 2024, 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 77.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SANDY GROVE of £499,995 on 16th March 2012. For the value to have increased from £499,995 to £887,774 over the eleven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SANDY GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2012 sale price of £499,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
