36 THE MEAD 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 two 36 THE MEAD sales from July 1999 and March 2006 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 July 1999 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the March 2006 sale, where it falls to 54% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% below the HPI.

What might 36 THE MEAD be worth now?

36 THE MEAD might now be worth an estimated £524,808.

This is based on house price inflation of 110%, between March 2006 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 110% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 36 THE MEAD of £249,950 on 8th March 2006. For the value to have increased from £249,950 to £524,808 over the seventeen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 36 THE MEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The March 2006 sale price of £249,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 36 THE MEAD has not materially changed since March 2006.
