34 ROSECROFT DRIVE 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 34 ROSECROFT DRIVE sales from October 2004 and May 2013 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 October 2004 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 34 ROSECROFT DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.5%, between May 2013 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 71.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 ROSECROFT DRIVE of £410,000 on 30th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £410,000 to £703,193 over the ten years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
