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 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might 10 RUFFORD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 2.7%, between February 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Watford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 RUFFORD CLOSE of £1,325,000 on 8th February 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,325,000 to £1,289,540 over the one year and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
