LINDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LINDEN COTTAGE sales between May 1996 and July 2017 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 January 2017 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might LINDEN COTTAGE be worth now?

LINDEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £977,601.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.7%, between July 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LINDEN COTTAGE of £875,000 on 7th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £875,000 to £977,601 over the eight years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LINDEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £875,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LINDEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2017.
