3 FIRWAY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 FIRWAY CLOSE sales between June 1997 and September 2010 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 May 2003 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the September 2010 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 3 FIRWAY CLOSE be worth now?

3 FIRWAY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £763,776.

This is based on house price inflation of 65%, between September 2010 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 65% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 FIRWAY CLOSE of £463,000 on 17th September 2010. For the value to have increased from £463,000 to £763,776 over the fifteen years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 FIRWAY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The September 2010 sale price of £463,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
