4 THE VALE 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 THE VALE sales from March 1996 and April 2017 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 March 1996 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 4 THE VALE be worth now?

4 THE VALE might now be worth an estimated £372,053.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.7%, between April 2017 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 28.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 THE VALE of £289,000 on 7th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £289,000 to £372,053 over the six years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 THE VALE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the York local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £289,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 THE VALE has not materially changed since April 2017.
