49 COURTLANDS 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 49 COURTLANDS DRIVE sales from October 2006 and May 2012 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 2006 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 49 COURTLANDS DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 75%, between May 2012 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 75% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 49 COURTLANDS DRIVE of £435,000 on 17th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £761,036 over the eleven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
