LITTLEBURY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LITTLEBURY sales from January 2009 and November 2011 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 2009 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might LITTLEBURY be worth now?

LITTLEBURY might now be worth an estimated £1,367,780.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.8%, between November 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 63.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLEBURY of £835,000 on 25th November 2011. For the value to have increased from £835,000 to £1,367,780 over the twelve years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLEBURY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The November 2011 sale price of £835,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLEBURY has not materially changed since November 2011.
