5 STUART DRIVE 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 STUART DRIVE sales between July 2004 and July 2018 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 November 2015 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might 5 STUART DRIVE be worth now?

5 STUART DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £615,697.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.3%, between July 2018 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 17.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 STUART DRIVE of £525,000 on 6th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £615,697 over the five years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 STUART DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
