WALNUT COTTAGE 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 two WALNUT COTTAGE sales from November 1999 and June 2008 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 November 1999 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the June 2008 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might WALNUT COTTAGE be worth now?

WALNUT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £730,641.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.9%, between June 2008 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 72.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WALNUT COTTAGE of £422,500 on 2nd June 2008. For the value to have increased from £422,500 to £730,641 over the seventeen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WALNUT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2008 sale price of £422,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WALNUT COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2008.
