9 COLLEGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 COLLEGE CLOSE sales from December 1997 and September 2015 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 December 1997 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 9 COLLEGE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 36.5%, between September 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
