14 ROSECROFT DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 14 ROSECROFT DRIVE sales between June 2008 and January 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 October 2008 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it rises to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might 14 ROSECROFT DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 52.7%, between January 2015 and February 2025, for semi-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 52.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 ROSECROFT DRIVE of £500,000 on 29th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £763,561 over the nine years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 14 ROSECROFT DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Watford local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
