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 five SCHOOL HOUSE sales between May 1996 and November 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 March 2014 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might SCHOOL HOUSE be worth now?

SCHOOL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £540,143.

This is based on house price inflation of 50%, between November 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 50% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SCHOOL HOUSE of £360,000 on 26th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £540,143 over the eleven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SCHOOL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2014 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SCHOOL HOUSE has not materially changed since November 2014.
