1 HIGHLANDS 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 three 1 HIGHLANDS sales between February 2001 and April 2019 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 2014 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, which was also at 29% below the HPI.

What might 1 HIGHLANDS be worth now?

1 HIGHLANDS might now be worth an estimated £571,970.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.4%, between April 2019 and October 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 23.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 HIGHLANDS of £463,500 on 15th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £463,500 to £571,970 over the five years and six months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 HIGHLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2019 sale price of £463,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 HIGHLANDS has not materially changed since April 2019.
