WATERSMEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WATERSMEAD sales from June 2010 and February 2024 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 June 2010 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might WATERSMEAD be worth now?

WATERSMEAD might now be worth an estimated £642,833.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.1%, between February 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for WATERSMEAD of £663,465 on 21st February 2024. For the value to have decreased from £663,465 to £642,833 over the one year to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WATERSMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The February 2024 sale price of £663,465 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WATERSMEAD has not materially changed since February 2024.
