GAMELANDS 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 three GAMELANDS sales between May 1998 and December 2009 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 October 2005 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might GAMELANDS be worth now?

GAMELANDS might now be worth an estimated £489,530.

This is based on house price inflation of 95.8%, between December 2009 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 95.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GAMELANDS of £250,000 on 5th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £489,530 over the sixteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GAMELANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GAMELANDS has not materially changed since December 2009.
