3 RECTORY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 RECTORY CLOSE sales from May 1999 and March 2022 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 1999 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 3 RECTORY CLOSE be worth now?

3 RECTORY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £415,127.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.1%, between March 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 RECTORY CLOSE of £395,000 on 1st March 2022. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £415,127 over the three years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 RECTORY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The March 2022 sale price of £395,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 RECTORY CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2022.
