85 GROVELANDS AVENUE 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 three 85 GROVELANDS AVENUE sales between May 2000 and February 2018 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 February 2007 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 85 GROVELANDS AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17%, between February 2018 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 17% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85 GROVELANDS AVENUE of £475,000 on 12th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £555,580 over the five years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
