BENASK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BENASK sales from March 2001 and July 2019 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 March 2001 sale was for 133% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 133% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 78% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 78% above the HPI.

What might BENASK be worth now?

BENASK might now be worth an estimated £494,705.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.7%, between July 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BENASK of £381,500 on 30th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £381,500 to £494,705 over the six years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BENASK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £381,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BENASK has not materially changed since July 2019.
