4 THE POPLARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Harborough local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 THE POPLARS sales between December 1998 and September 2021 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 June 2007 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 4 THE POPLARS be worth now?

4 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £319,848.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.7%, between September 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Harborough local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 THE POPLARS of £265,000 on 27th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £319,848 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 THE POPLARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Harborough local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 THE POPLARS has not materially changed since September 2021.
