3 WALSH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 WALSH CLOSE sales from July 2013 and July 2017 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 2013 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 3 WALSH CLOSE be worth now?

3 WALSH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £744,202.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between July 2017 and March 2025, for 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 WALSH CLOSE of £625,000 on 21st July 2017. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £744,202 over the eight years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 WALSH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
