7 THE FOLLY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 THE FOLLY sales from November 1995 and November 2001 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 1995 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the November 2001 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 7 THE FOLLY be worth now?

7 THE FOLLY might now be worth an estimated £478,817.

This is based on house price inflation of 194.7%, between November 2001 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the East Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 194.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THE FOLLY of £162,500 on 23rd November 2001. For the value to have increased from £162,500 to £478,817 over the 24 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THE FOLLY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2001 sale price of £162,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 THE FOLLY has not materially changed since November 2001.
