581 HOWLANDS 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 three 581 HOWLANDS sales between February 2002 and November 2016 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 June 2016 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 581 HOWLANDS be worth now?

581 HOWLANDS might now be worth an estimated £452,666.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.6%, between November 2016 and July 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 581 HOWLANDS of £395,000 on 17th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £452,666 over the nine years and four months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 581 HOWLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £395,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
