The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42A VICARAGE ROAD sales from September 2003 and December 2005 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 September 2003 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the December 2005 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
42A VICARAGE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £552,146.
This is based on house price inflation of 120.9%, between December 2005 and June 2025, for terraced 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 120.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42A VICARAGE ROAD of £250,000 on 14th December 2005. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £552,146 over the twenty years and six months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
