4 SCARCROFT LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the York local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 SCARCROFT LANE sales from August 2003 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 August 2003 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might 4 SCARCROFT LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 38.9%, between October 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the York local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 38.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 SCARCROFT LANE of £540,000 on 12th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £749,930 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
