55 SHEPHERD CLOSE 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 55 SHEPHERD CLOSE sales from December 1996 and March 2000 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 December 1996 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the March 2000 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might 55 SHEPHERD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 272%, between March 2000 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 272% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 55 SHEPHERD CLOSE of £114,000 on 31st March 2000. For the value to have increased from £114,000 to £424,035 over the 25 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
