1A THE DRIFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 1A THE DRIFT sales between December 2004 and October 2015 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 October 2012 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might 1A THE DRIFT be worth now?

1A THE DRIFT might now be worth an estimated £415,411.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.8%, between October 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1A THE DRIFT of £295,000 on 30th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £415,411 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1A THE DRIFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Kesteven local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1A THE DRIFT has not materially changed since October 2015.
