BAY HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BAY HOUSE sales between November 1998 and September 2013 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 April 2009 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might BAY HOUSE be worth now?

BAY HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £406,709.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.4%, between September 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 50.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BAY HOUSE of £270,500 on 5th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £270,500 to £406,709 over the twelve years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BAY HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The September 2013 sale price of £270,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BAY HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2013.
