6 STEPHENSON 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 four 6 STEPHENSON CLOSE sales between June 1995 and October 2017 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 June 2017 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 6 STEPHENSON CLOSE be worth now?

6 STEPHENSON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £551,007.

This is based on house price inflation of 16%, between October 2017 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 16% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 STEPHENSON CLOSE of £475,000 on 24th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £551,007 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 STEPHENSON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
