YEW TREE 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 YEW TREE COTTAGE sales from December 2011 and September 2017 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 December 2011 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might YEW TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

YEW TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £739,689.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.7%, between September 2017 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 10.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for YEW TREE COTTAGE of £668,000 on 8th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £668,000 to £739,689 over the eight years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of YEW TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £668,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
