5 THE OLD POUND Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE OLD POUND sales from July 1996 and October 1997 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 July 1996 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the October 1997 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE OLD POUND be worth now?

The 337.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE OLD POUND of £173,000 on 24th October 1997. For the value to have increased from £173,000 to £757,407 over the 26 years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
