88 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 four 88 SYMONDS ROAD sales between January 1996 and August 2022 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 2015 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 88 SYMONDS ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between August 2022 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 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 88 SYMONDS ROAD of £485,000 on 16th August 2022. For the value to have increased from £485,000 to £494,933 over the three years and one month to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 88 SYMONDS ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £485,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
