8 HOWARDS THICKET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 HOWARDS THICKET sales between September 1996 and November 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 June 2000 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.

What might 8 HOWARDS THICKET be worth now?

8 HOWARDS THICKET might now be worth an estimated £1,394,738.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.7%, between November 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 HOWARDS THICKET of £1,260,000 on 5th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £1,260,000 to £1,394,738 over the five years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 HOWARDS THICKET has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £1,260,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
