8 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 ORCHARD CLOSE sales between August 1999 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 January 2008 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 8 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

8 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £709,120.

This is based on house price inflation of 81.8%, between November 2012 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Hertsmere local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 81.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ORCHARD CLOSE of £390,000 on 26th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £709,120 over the thirteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ORCHARD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Hertsmere local authority area.
• The November 2012 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
