FAIR HAVEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FAIR HAVEN sales from November 2000 and October 2002 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 November 2000 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might FAIR HAVEN be worth now?

FAIR HAVEN might now be worth an estimated £736,150.

This is based on house price inflation of 145.4%, between October 2002 and June 2025, for 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 145.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FAIR HAVEN of £300,000 on 3rd October 2002. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £736,150 over the 23 years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FAIR HAVEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2002 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FAIR HAVEN has not materially changed since October 2002.
