5 WESTWOOD AVENUE 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 five 5 WESTWOOD AVENUE sales between April 1999 and September 2024 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 August 2015 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 5 WESTWOOD AVENUE be worth now?

5 WESTWOOD AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £588,704.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.5%, between September 2024 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 1.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 WESTWOOD AVENUE of £580,000 on 27th September 2024. For the value to have increased from £580,000 to £588,704 over the nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 WESTWOOD AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £580,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 WESTWOOD AVENUE has not materially changed since September 2024.
