10 RUFFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 10 RUFFORD CLOSE sales from December 2000 and February 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 December 2000 sale was for 88% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.
