The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 179 NORTH APPROACH sales between May 2007 and August 2017 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 July 2008 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
179 NORTH APPROACH might now be worth an estimated £462,232.
This is based on house price inflation of 15.6%, between August 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 15.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 179 NORTH APPROACH of £399,950 on 22nd August 2017. For the value to have increased from £399,950 to £462,232 over the eight years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
