5 STRAW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tandridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 STRAW CLOSE sales between June 1997 and June 2018 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 December 2003 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 5 STRAW CLOSE be worth now?

5 STRAW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £701,687.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.2%, between June 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Tandridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 9.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 STRAW CLOSE of £642,500 on 29th June 2018. For the value to have increased from £642,500 to £701,687 over the five years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 STRAW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tandridge local authority area.
• The June 2018 sale price of £642,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
