129 RIDGE LANE 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 five 129 RIDGE LANE sales between September 1999 and June 2012 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 May 2008 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
