17 THE VALE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 17 THE VALE sales between April 1995 and July 2014 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 May 2002 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.

What might 17 THE VALE be worth now?

17 THE VALE might now be worth an estimated £290,158.

This is based on house price inflation of 46.5%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 46.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THE VALE of £198,000 on 4th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £198,000 to £290,158 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THE VALE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £198,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 THE VALE has not materially changed since July 2014.
