8 MEADOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 MEADOW CLOSE sales between September 1996 and November 2012 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 May 2004 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 8 MEADOW CLOSE be worth now?

8 MEADOW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £779,833.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.5%, between November 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MEADOW CLOSE of £480,000 on 30th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £779,833 over the thirteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 MEADOW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
