BEN LUCE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BEN LUCE sales from December 1996 and December 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 December 1996 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might BEN LUCE be worth now?

BEN LUCE might now be worth an estimated £1,387,609.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.2%, between December 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEN LUCE of £900,000 on 18th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £900,000 to £1,387,609 over the twelve years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEN LUCE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The December 2013 sale price of £900,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEN LUCE has not materially changed since December 2013.
