12 ABBOTS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 ABBOTS CLOSE sales from July 1997 and April 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 July 1997 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 12 ABBOTS CLOSE be worth now?

12 ABBOTS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £500,074.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.1%, between April 2024 and April 2026, for semi-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 11.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 ABBOTS CLOSE of £450,000 on 26th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £500,074 over the two years to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 ABBOTS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
