5 STEPHENSON CLOSE 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 five 5 STEPHENSON CLOSE sales between September 2001 and June 2021 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 March 2021 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 5 STEPHENSON CLOSE be worth now?

5 STEPHENSON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £587,744.

This is based on house price inflation of 12%, between June 2021 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 12% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 STEPHENSON CLOSE of £525,000 on 30th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £587,744 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 STEPHENSON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
