LITTLE GYLEN 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 LITTLE GYLEN sales from September 2014 and April 2016 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 September 2014 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might LITTLE GYLEN be worth now?

LITTLE GYLEN might now be worth an estimated £919,595.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.8%, between April 2016 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 26.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE GYLEN of £725,000 on 25th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £919,595 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE GYLEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE GYLEN has not materially changed since April 2016.
