7 STIRLING CLOSE 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 two 7 STIRLING CLOSE sales from November 1996 and January 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 November 1996 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the January 2003 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might 7 STIRLING CLOSE be worth now?

7 STIRLING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £582,707.

This is based on house price inflation of 164.9%, between January 2003 and February 2025, 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 164.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 STIRLING CLOSE of £220,000 on 17th January 2003. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £582,707 over the 21 years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 STIRLING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2003 sale price of £220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
