COTTONWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two COTTONWOOD sales from August 2004 and January 2007 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 2004 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the January 2007 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might COTTONWOOD be worth now?

COTTONWOOD might now be worth an estimated £567,911.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.3%, between January 2007 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 89.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COTTONWOOD of £299,950 on 8th January 2007. For the value to have increased from £299,950 to £567,911 over the seventeen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COTTONWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2007 sale price of £299,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COTTONWOOD has not materially changed since January 2007.
