8 THE SHAWS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 THE SHAWS sales from April 2004 and October 2023 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 2004 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 8 THE SHAWS be worth now?

The 1.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE SHAWS of £540,000 on 4th October 2023. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £546,564 over the two years and seven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
