51 BENSLOW RISE 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 two 51 BENSLOW RISE sales from November 2006 and January 2011 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 2006 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it rises to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.

What might 51 BENSLOW RISE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 80.5%, between January 2011 and December 2024, 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 80.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 51 BENSLOW RISE of £735,000 on 20th January 2011. For the value to have increased from £735,000 to £1,326,546 over the twelve years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The January 2011 sale price of £735,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
