CHESTNUT HOUSE 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 CHESTNUT HOUSE sales between May 1999 and December 2006 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 February 2005 sale was for 67% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% below the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might CHESTNUT HOUSE be worth now?

CHESTNUT HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,142,234.

This is based on house price inflation of 104%, between December 2006 and December 2024, 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 104% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHESTNUT HOUSE of £560,000 on 8th December 2006. For the value to have increased from £560,000 to £1,142,234 over the eighteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHESTNUT HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The December 2006 sale price of £560,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHESTNUT HOUSE has not materially changed since December 2006.
