96 LUCAS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 96 LUCAS LANE sales between May 2000 and July 2013 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 July 2007 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, which was also at 11% above the HPI.

What might 96 LUCAS LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 84.6%, between July 2013 and December 2024, for semi-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 84.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 96 LUCAS LANE of £282,500 on 26th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £282,500 to £521,517 over the ten years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
