THE COPSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COPSE sales between March 2004 and January 2024 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 September 2005 sale was for 120% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 120% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 161% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 161% above the HPI.

What might THE COPSE be worth now?

THE COPSE might now be worth an estimated £2,404,371.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.7%, between January 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COPSE of £2,275,000 on 18th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £2,275,000 to £2,404,371 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COPSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The January 2024 sale price of £2,275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COPSE has not materially changed since January 2024.
