72 HIGHOVER 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 72 HIGHOVER WAY sales from November 2001 and August 2014 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 2001 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 72 HIGHOVER WAY be worth now?

72 HIGHOVER WAY might now be worth an estimated £441,737.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.6%, between August 2014 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 60.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 72 HIGHOVER WAY of £275,000 on 22nd August 2014. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £441,737 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 2014 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
