81 PERIWINKLE LANE 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 81 PERIWINKLE LANE sales from October 1996 and May 2004 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 1996 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the May 2004 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 81 PERIWINKLE LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 124.4%, between May 2004 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 124.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 81 PERIWINKLE LANE of £250,000 on 5th May 2004. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £560,886 over the nineteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The May 2004 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
