The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 ROUGHWOOD CLOSE sales from August 1997 and March 2020 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 August 1997 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it falls to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.
