BRAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BRAY sales from June 1996 and January 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 June 1996 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might BRAY be worth now?

BRAY might now be worth an estimated £747,649.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.7%, between January 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRAY of £535,000 on 20th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £535,000 to £747,649 over the nine years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £535,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRAY has not materially changed since January 2015.
