29 WESTBURY 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 two 29 WESTBURY CLOSE sales from September 1999 and August 2004 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 September 1999 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the August 2004 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 29 WESTBURY CLOSE be worth now?

The 122% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 WESTBURY CLOSE of £187,500 on 6th August 2004. For the value to have increased from £187,500 to £416,340 over the 21 years to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
