The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 278 RUTLAND AVENUE sales from May 1999 and December 2011 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 1999 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it falls to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.
278 RUTLAND AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £368,459.
This is based on house price inflation of 67.5%, between December 2011 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
