8 CHAUCER ROAD 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 8 CHAUCER ROAD sales from December 1996 and October 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 December 1996 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 8 CHAUCER ROAD be worth now?

8 CHAUCER ROAD might now be worth an estimated £473,908.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.4%, between October 2014 and February 2025, 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 50.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 CHAUCER ROAD of £315,000 on 30th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £473,908 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The October 2014 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
