53 GIRONS 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 53 GIRONS CLOSE sales from February 1995 and December 1997 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 February 1995 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the December 1997 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 53 GIRONS CLOSE be worth now?

53 GIRONS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £488,778.

This is based on house price inflation of 440.1%, between December 1997 and August 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 440.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 GIRONS CLOSE of £90,500 on 12th December 1997. For the value to have increased from £90,500 to £488,778 over the 28 years and four months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 53 GIRONS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The December 1997 sale price of £90,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
