HIGHGATE 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 HIGHGATE sales from December 2001 and November 2020 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 December 2001 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might HIGHGATE be worth now?

HIGHGATE might now be worth an estimated £651,238.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.4%, between November 2020 and December 2024, 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 10.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHGATE of £590,000 on 6th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £590,000 to £651,238 over the three years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHGATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £590,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHGATE has not materially changed since November 2020.
