85 COWLEY HILL Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 85 COWLEY HILL sales from March 1998 and August 2001 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 March 1998 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the August 2001 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 85 COWLEY HILL be worth now?

85 COWLEY HILL might now be worth an estimated £1,302,855.

This is based on house price inflation of 189.5%, between August 2001 and February 2025, for 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 189.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85 COWLEY HILL of £450,000 on 28th August 2001. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £1,302,855 over the 24 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
