SHEPHERDS GATE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SHEPHERDS GATE sales from December 1997 and July 2009 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 December 1997 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it rises to 113% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 113% above the HPI.

What might SHEPHERDS GATE be worth now?

SHEPHERDS GATE might now be worth an estimated £2,397,020.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.8%, between July 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 99.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SHEPHERDS GATE of £1,200,000 on 24th July 2009. For the value to have increased from £1,200,000 to £2,397,020 over the sixteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SHEPHERDS GATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The July 2009 sale price of £1,200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SHEPHERDS GATE has not materially changed since July 2009.
