5 THE LIMES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE LIMES sales from March 1995 and September 2022 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 1995 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE LIMES be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 7.5%, between September 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE LIMES of £1,120,000 on 23rd September 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,120,000 to £1,035,670 over the one year and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
