HIGHLOW 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 two HIGHLOW sales from August 2002 and September 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 August 2002 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might HIGHLOW be worth now?

HIGHLOW might now be worth an estimated £763,732.

This is based on house price inflation of 106.4%, between September 2009 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 106.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHLOW of £370,000 on 11th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £763,732 over the fourteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHLOW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The September 2009 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHLOW has not materially changed since September 2009.
