28 HIGHFIELD 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 28 HIGHFIELD sales between June 1998 and September 2005 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 November 2000 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it falls to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 28 HIGHFIELD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 109.5%, between September 2005 and December 2024, 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 109.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 HIGHFIELD of £290,200 on 2nd September 2005. For the value to have increased from £290,200 to £607,935 over the eighteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
