4 LEICESTER COTTAGES 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 three 4 LEICESTER COTTAGES sales between July 2000 and August 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 December 2014 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 4 LEICESTER COTTAGES be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 21.4%, between August 2017 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 21.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 LEICESTER COTTAGES of £380,000 on 11th August 2017. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £461,505 over the eight years to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 LEICESTER COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
