3 ALBANWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 ALBANWOOD sales from June 2010 and January 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 June 2010 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 3 ALBANWOOD be worth now?

3 ALBANWOOD might now be worth an estimated £590,130.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.3%, between January 2017 and December 2024, for 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 10.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 ALBANWOOD of £535,000 on 6th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £535,000 to £590,130 over the six years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
