78 BETJEMAN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 78 BETJEMAN WAY sales from June 1995 and March 2017 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 June 1995 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 78 BETJEMAN WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 19.9%, between March 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 78 BETJEMAN WAY of £575,000 on 24th March 2017. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £689,423 over the six years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
