BURSWOOD 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 BURSWOOD sales from August 2007 and April 2023 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 2007 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might BURSWOOD be worth now?

BURSWOOD might now be worth an estimated £1,433,913.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.4%, between April 2023 and March 2025, 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 4.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for BURSWOOD of £1,500,000 on 26th April 2023. For the value to have decreased from £1,500,000 to £1,433,913 over the two years and one month to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The April 2023 sale price of £1,500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BURSWOOD has not materially changed since April 2023.
