WOODCROFT 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 WOODCROFT sales from September 2020 and August 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 2020 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might WOODCROFT be worth now?

WOODCROFT might now be worth an estimated £947,375.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.5%, between August 2024 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 3.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WOODCROFT of £915,000 on 6th August 2024. For the value to have increased from £915,000 to £947,375 over the one year and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WOODCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £915,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WOODCROFT has not materially changed since August 2024.
