The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 172 CAMBRIDGE ROAD sales between April 2005 and January 2021 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 May 2017 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.
172 CAMBRIDGE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £715,414.
This is based on house price inflation of 11.8%, between January 2021 and February 2025, for semi-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 11.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 172 CAMBRIDGE ROAD of £640,110 on 14th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £640,110 to £715,414 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
