BRIERFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BRIERFIELD sales from June 1996 and October 2018 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 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might BRIERFIELD be worth now?

BRIERFIELD might now be worth an estimated £252,705.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.4%, between October 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRIERFIELD of £200,000 on 22nd October 2018. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £252,705 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRIERFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The October 2018 sale price of £200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRIERFIELD has not materially changed since October 2018.
