55 BROWNING DRIVE 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 55 BROWNING DRIVE sales from July 1997 and May 1999 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 1997 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the May 1999 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 55 BROWNING DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 387.6%, between May 1999 and March 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 387.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 55 BROWNING DRIVE of £86,000 on 14th May 1999. For the value to have increased from £86,000 to £419,345 over the 26 years and two months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
