26 WESTELL CLOSE 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 26 WESTELL CLOSE sales between April 2005 and July 2022 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 July 2016 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 26 WESTELL CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 3.1%, between July 2022 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 3.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 WESTELL CLOSE of £350,000 on 22nd July 2022. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £360,889 over the three years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
