8 ROOKES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 ROOKES CLOSE sales from August 2005 and June 2010 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 August 2005 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might 8 ROOKES CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 77.7%, between June 2010 and July 2025, for terraced 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 77.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ROOKES CLOSE of £280,000 on 14th June 2010. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £497,691 over the fourteen years and eleven months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ROOKES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2010 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
