8 TALBOT STREET 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 five 8 TALBOT STREET sales between October 1995 and February 2009 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 October 2002 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the February 2009 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 8 TALBOT STREET be worth now?

8 TALBOT STREET might now be worth an estimated £546,318.

This is based on house price inflation of 102.3%, between February 2009 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 102.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 TALBOT STREET of £270,000 on 25th February 2009. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £546,318 over the fourteen years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 TALBOT STREET has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2009 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
