5A MOUNT PLEASANT 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 5A MOUNT PLEASANT sales between June 1997 and September 2024 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 2015 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 5A MOUNT PLEASANT be worth now?

5A MOUNT PLEASANT might now be worth an estimated £973,006.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.1%, between September 2024 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 1.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5A MOUNT PLEASANT of £962,500 on 19th September 2024. For the value to have increased from £962,500 to £973,006 over the nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5A MOUNT PLEASANT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
