68 BROWNING DRIVE 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 68 BROWNING DRIVE sales between November 1996 and November 2015 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 2004 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 68 BROWNING DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 36.1%, between November 2015 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 36.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 68 BROWNING DRIVE of £535,000 on 16th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £535,000 to £728,169 over the eight years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
