THE HALF A CROWN 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 THE HALF A CROWN sales from January 1997 and March 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 January 1997 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might THE HALF A CROWN be worth now?

THE HALF A CROWN might now be worth an estimated £423,369.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.9%, between March 2021 and February 2025, 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 12.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE HALF A CROWN of £375,000 on 30th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £423,369 over the four years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE HALF A CROWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE HALF A CROWN has not materially changed since March 2021.
