COLENSO COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two COLENSO COTTAGE sales from August 1997 and February 2022 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 August 1997 sale was for 97% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 97% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.

What might COLENSO COTTAGE be worth now?

COLENSO COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £916,059.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.4%, between February 2022 and February 2025, for semi-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 10.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COLENSO COTTAGE of £830,000 on 9th February 2022. For the value to have increased from £830,000 to £916,059 over the three years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COLENSO COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The February 2022 sale price of £830,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
