GILD COTTAGE 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 three GILD COTTAGE sales between December 2004 and January 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 April 2008 sale was for 83% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 83% above the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it falls to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.

What might GILD COTTAGE be worth now?

GILD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £831,082.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.3%, between January 2010 and February 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 93.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GILD COTTAGE of £430,000 on 22nd January 2010. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £831,082 over the fourteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GILD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2010 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GILD COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2010.
