8 MASEFIELD 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 8 MASEFIELD sales from April 2001 and August 2005 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 April 2001 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 8 MASEFIELD be worth now?

8 MASEFIELD might now be worth an estimated £481,358.

This is based on house price inflation of 113.9%, between August 2005 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 113.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MASEFIELD of £225,000 on 22nd August 2005. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £481,358 over the eighteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 MASEFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2005 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 MASEFIELD has not materially changed since August 2005.
