ALDER HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Guildford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ALDER HOUSE sales from September 2002 and December 2022 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 September 2002 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might ALDER HOUSE be worth now?

ALDER HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £650,441.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.4%, between December 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Guildford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for ALDER HOUSE of £660,000 on 20th December 2022. For the value to have decreased from £660,000 to £650,441 over the three years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ALDER HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Guildford local authority area.
• The December 2022 sale price of £660,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ALDER HOUSE has not materially changed since December 2022.
