5 THE RUFFETTS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Croydon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE RUFFETTS sales from February 1996 and May 2005 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 February 1996 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it rises to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE RUFFETTS be worth now?

5 THE RUFFETTS might now be worth an estimated £854,995.

This is based on house price inflation of 114.8%, between May 2005 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Croydon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 114.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE RUFFETTS of £398,000 on 26th May 2005. For the value to have increased from £398,000 to £854,995 over the twenty years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE RUFFETTS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Croydon local authority area.
• The May 2005 sale price of £398,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
