7 LAVENDER WAY 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 7 LAVENDER WAY sales from August 1999 and July 2011 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 1999 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 7 LAVENDER WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 87.9%, between July 2011 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 87.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 LAVENDER WAY of £478,000 on 7th July 2011. For the value to have increased from £478,000 to £898,093 over the twelve years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
