SINGLETON HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SINGLETON HOUSE sales from July 1999 and April 2021 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 July 1999 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might SINGLETON HOUSE be worth now?

SINGLETON HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £673,452.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.1%, between April 2021 and December 2024, for 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 14.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SINGLETON HOUSE of £590,000 on 26th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £590,000 to £673,452 over the two years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SINGLETON HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £590,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SINGLETON HOUSE has not materially changed since April 2021.
