3 ROOKES 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 3 ROOKES CLOSE sales from December 2019 and January 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 December 2019 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 3 ROOKES CLOSE be worth now?

3 ROOKES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £479,368.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.3%, between January 2022 and July 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 6.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 ROOKES CLOSE of £451,000 on 25th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £451,000 to £479,368 over the two years and six months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 ROOKES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £451,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
