70 PERIWINKLE LANE 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 70 PERIWINKLE LANE sales from November 2014 and December 2020 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 2014 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might 70 PERIWINKLE LANE be worth now?

70 PERIWINKLE LANE might now be worth an estimated £796,161.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.9%, between December 2020 and December 2024, 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 12.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 PERIWINKLE LANE of £705,000 on 17th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £705,000 to £796,161 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 70 PERIWINKLE LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £705,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
