4 STRANGEWAYS 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 four 4 STRANGEWAYS sales between February 1995 and November 2019 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 April 2016 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 4 STRANGEWAYS be worth now?

4 STRANGEWAYS might now be worth an estimated £626,600.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.9%, between November 2019 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 11.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 STRANGEWAYS of £560,000 on 15th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £560,000 to £626,600 over the four years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 STRANGEWAYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Watford local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £560,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 STRANGEWAYS has not materially changed since November 2019.
