18 LARKEN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 LARKEN DRIVE sales between August 2002 and November 2013 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 2006 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 18 LARKEN DRIVE be worth now?

18 LARKEN DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £745,867.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.7%, between November 2013 and February 2025, for semi-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 66.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 LARKEN DRIVE of £447,500 on 1st November 2013. For the value to have increased from £447,500 to £745,867 over the twelve years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
