159 VALLEY ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 159 VALLEY ROAD sales between August 1997 and June 2002 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 June 2001 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might 159 VALLEY ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 158.9%, between June 2002 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 158.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 VALLEY ROAD of £660,000 on 28th June 2002. For the value to have increased from £660,000 to £1,708,465 over the 23 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
