31 BENSLOW LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The seven 31 BENSLOW LANE sales between March 1997 and March 2021 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 January 2019 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 31 BENSLOW LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 14.4%, between March 2021 and August 2025, for terraced 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 14.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 BENSLOW LANE of £370,000 on 12th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £423,352 over the three years and seven months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
