THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE sales between December 1996 and August 2020 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 June 2009 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it falls to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE be worth now?

THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE might now be worth an estimated £1,235,904.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.4%, between August 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 8.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE of £1,140,000 on 12th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £1,140,000 to £1,235,904 over the five years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2020 sale price of £1,140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
