6 RUSKIN LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 6 RUSKIN LANE sales between June 2004 and August 2012 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 2010 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 6 RUSKIN LANE be worth now?

6 RUSKIN LANE might now be worth an estimated £462,931.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.2%, between August 2012 and December 2024, for semi-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 85.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 RUSKIN LANE of £250,000 on 3rd August 2012. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £462,931 over the eleven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 RUSKIN LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 6 RUSKIN LANE has not materially changed since August 2012.
