BELL HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BELL HOUSE sales between April 2007 and September 2021 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 October 2014 sale was for 201% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 201% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 172% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 172% above the HPI.

What might BELL HOUSE be worth now?

BELL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,525,433.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.9%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 9.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BELL HOUSE of £1,388,000 on 7th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,388,000 to £1,525,433 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BELL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £1,388,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BELL HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2021.
