BRACKEN HURST 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 four BRACKEN HURST sales between January 2015 and September 2021 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 2017 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might BRACKEN HURST be worth now?

BRACKEN HURST might now be worth an estimated £1,460,876.

This is based on house price inflation of 9%, between September 2021 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 9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRACKEN HURST of £1,340,000 on 29th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,340,000 to £1,460,876 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRACKEN HURST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £1,340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRACKEN HURST has not materially changed since September 2021.
