5B 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 two 5B MOUNT PLEASANT sales from January 1999 and May 2003 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 January 1999 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might 5B MOUNT PLEASANT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 141%, between May 2003 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 141% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5B MOUNT PLEASANT of £499,999 on 2nd May 2003. For the value to have increased from £499,999 to £1,204,976 over the twenty years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
