53 LONGMEAD 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 three 53 LONGMEAD sales between June 1995 and October 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 May 2001 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might 53 LONGMEAD be worth now?

53 LONGMEAD might now be worth an estimated £445,285.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.1%, between October 2011 and February 2025, 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 78.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 LONGMEAD of £250,000 on 17th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £445,285 over the fourteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 53 LONGMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2011 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 53 LONGMEAD has not materially changed since October 2011.
