16 HOWARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 HOWARD CLOSE sales from June 1997 and April 2000 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 June 1997 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the April 2000 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 16 HOWARD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 256.9%, between April 2000 and October 2025, for detached houses, in the Hertsmere local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 256.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 HOWARD CLOSE of £275,000 on 26th April 2000. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £981,441 over the 24 years and six months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
