23 HIGHLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 23 HIGHLANDS sales between April 2000 and May 2012 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 August 2004 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 23 HIGHLANDS be worth now?

23 HIGHLANDS might now be worth an estimated £467,029.

This is based on house price inflation of 87.9%, between May 2012 and May 2026, 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 87.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 HIGHLANDS of £248,500 on 16th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £248,500 to £467,029 over the fourteen years to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 HIGHLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £248,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 23 HIGHLANDS has not materially changed since May 2012.
