21 COMPTON PLACE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 21 COMPTON PLACE sales between May 2004 and August 2017 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 July 2005 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 21 COMPTON PLACE be worth now?

21 COMPTON PLACE might now be worth an estimated £525,580.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.5%, between August 2017 and December 2024, for semi-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 9.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 COMPTON PLACE of £480,000 on 18th August 2017. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £525,580 over the six years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 COMPTON PLACE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
