70 SYMONDS ROAD 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 70 SYMONDS ROAD sales from September 1996 and September 1998 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 September 1996 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the September 1998 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 70 SYMONDS ROAD be worth now?

70 SYMONDS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £369,952.

This is based on house price inflation of 368.3%, between September 1998 and July 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 368.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 SYMONDS ROAD of £79,000 on 18th September 1998. For the value to have increased from £79,000 to £369,952 over the 27 years and two months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 70 SYMONDS ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The September 1998 sale price of £79,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
