5 SYCAMORE CLOSE 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 5 SYCAMORE CLOSE sales from February 1999 and June 2015 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 February 1999 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 5 SYCAMORE CLOSE be worth now?
