BENNETTS CASTLE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BENNETTS CASTLE sales between July 1998 and February 2010 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 2005 sale was for 91% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% below the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, which was also at 91% below the HPI.

What might BENNETTS CASTLE be worth now?

BENNETTS CASTLE might now be worth an estimated £89,727.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.6%, between February 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mole Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 72.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BENNETTS CASTLE of £52,000 on 26th February 2010. For the value to have increased from £52,000 to £89,727 over the fifteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BENNETTS CASTLE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mole Valley local authority area.
• The February 2010 sale price of £52,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BENNETTS CASTLE has not materially changed since February 2010.
