BIJOU Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five BIJOU sales between June 1997 and September 2015 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 December 2002 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might BIJOU be worth now?

BIJOU might now be worth an estimated £345,010.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.3%, between September 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIJOU of £255,000 on 4th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £255,000 to £345,010 over the ten years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIJOU has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £255,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIJOU has not materially changed since September 2015.
