MOUSEHOLE 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 two MOUSEHOLE sales from August 1996 and June 2010 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 1996 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might MOUSEHOLE be worth now?

MOUSEHOLE might now be worth an estimated £1,023,542.

This is based on house price inflation of 75%, between June 2010 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 75% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MOUSEHOLE of £585,000 on 25th June 2010. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £1,023,542 over the fifteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MOUSEHOLE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2010 sale price of £585,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MOUSEHOLE has not materially changed since June 2010.
