3 WAIN 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 WAIN CLOSE sales between March 1996 and March 2025 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 2014 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 3 WAIN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 5%, between March 2025 and June 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 5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 WAIN CLOSE of £970,000 on 3rd March 2025. For the value to have decreased from £970,000 to £921,173 over the nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
