9 DALE CLOSE 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 9 DALE CLOSE sales from May 2015 and December 2020 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 May 2015 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 9 DALE CLOSE be worth now?

9 DALE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £828,840.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.5%, between December 2020 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 10.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 DALE CLOSE of £750,000 on 18th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £750,000 to £828,840 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 9 DALE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £750,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
