The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 32 ESSEX ROAD sales between December 1995 and July 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 1999 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI.
