THE COPSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COPSE sales between September 2006 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 April 2013 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might THE COPSE be worth now?

THE COPSE might now be worth an estimated £1,486,558.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.1%, between November 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Hertsmere local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COPSE of £1,100,000 on 28th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £1,100,000 to £1,486,558 over the nine years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COPSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Hertsmere local authority area.
• The November 2014 sale price of £1,100,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COPSE has not materially changed since November 2014.
