The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 257 ICKNIELD WAY sales between August 1996 and December 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 March 2002 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
257 ICKNIELD WAY might now be worth an estimated £698,343.
This is based on house price inflation of 1.9%, between December 2021 and June 2025, for 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).
