THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CROFT sales from December 1998 and March 2015 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 1998 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might THE CROFT be worth now?

THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £896,428.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.2%, between March 2015 and July 2025, for detached houses, in the East Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CROFT of £635,000 on 6th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £635,000 to £896,428 over the nine years and eight months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hertfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2015 sale price of £635,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CROFT has not materially changed since March 2015.
