31 DOWDING WAY 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 31 DOWDING WAY sales between January 2002 and January 2020 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 August 2012 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 31 DOWDING WAY be worth now?
