OLD SCHOOL HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD SCHOOL HOUSE sales from May 2005 and June 2014 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 May 2005 sale was for 210% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 210% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it falls to 199% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 199% above the HPI.

What might OLD SCHOOL HOUSE be worth now?

OLD SCHOOL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,378,520.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.4%, between June 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the North Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD SCHOOL HOUSE of £865,000 on 4th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £865,000 to £1,378,520 over the eleven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD SCHOOL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2014 sale price of £865,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
