53 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 53 BENSLOW RISE sales from August 2016 and January 2023 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 2016 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 53 BENSLOW RISE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.7%, between January 2023 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 4.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 BENSLOW RISE of £920,000 on 16th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £920,000 to £963,292 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
