8 MEADOW WAY 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 MEADOW WAY sales from January 2002 and September 2021 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 January 2002 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 8 MEADOW WAY be worth now?

8 MEADOW WAY might now be worth an estimated £775,531.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.8%, between September 2021 and December 2024, 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 10.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MEADOW WAY of £700,000 on 30th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £700,000 to £775,531 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 MEADOW WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £700,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
