50 DIGSWELL RISE 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 three 50 DIGSWELL RISE sales between September 1996 and March 2005 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 May 2002 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the March 2005 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 50 DIGSWELL RISE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 101.5%, between March 2005 and March 2025, 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 101.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 50 DIGSWELL RISE of £497,500 on 18th March 2005. For the value to have increased from £497,500 to £1,002,364 over the twenty years to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
