53 GREAT LEY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 53 GREAT LEY sales from April 2005 and August 2009 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 April 2005 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 53 GREAT LEY be worth now?

The 102.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 GREAT LEY of £212,000 on 28th August 2009. For the value to have increased from £212,000 to £430,050 over the sixteen years and one month to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
