7 VIRGINIA ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 7 VIRGINIA ORCHARD sales between December 1996 and May 2024 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 2013 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, which was also at 8% below the HPI.

What might 7 VIRGINIA ORCHARD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6.8%, between May 2024 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 VIRGINIA ORCHARD of £249,500 on 17th May 2024. For the value to have increased from £249,500 to £266,469 over the one year and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
