THE ACORNS 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 three THE ACORNS sales between April 1998 and May 2024 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 December 2000 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might THE ACORNS be worth now?

THE ACORNS might now be worth an estimated £698,244.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.7%, between May 2024 and July 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 2.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ACORNS of £680,000 on 31st May 2024. For the value to have increased from £680,000 to £698,244 over the ten months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ACORNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £680,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ACORNS has not materially changed since May 2024.
