8 HERON WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 HERON WAY sales between May 2003 and July 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 August 2013 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might 8 HERON WAY be worth now?

8 HERON WAY might now be worth an estimated £296,287.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between July 2017 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 HERON WAY of £257,500 on 10th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £257,500 to £296,287 over the six years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 HERON WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £257,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
