BAYFORD 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 three BAYFORD sales between May 1996 and September 2024 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 June 1999 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might BAYFORD be worth now?

BAYFORD might now be worth an estimated £628,000.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.1%, between September 2024 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).

The 2.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BAYFORD of £615,000 on 3rd September 2024. For the value to have increased from £615,000 to £628,000 over the one year and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BAYFORD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £615,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BAYFORD has not materially changed since September 2024.
