BURNTWOOD 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 BURNTWOOD sales from June 1997 and October 1998 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 1997 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the October 1998 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might BURNTWOOD be worth now?

BURNTWOOD might now be worth an estimated £787,016.

This is based on house price inflation of 277.5%, between October 1998 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 277.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BURNTWOOD of £208,500 on 30th October 1998. For the value to have increased from £208,500 to £787,016 over the 27 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BURNTWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The October 1998 sale price of £208,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BURNTWOOD has not materially changed since October 1998.
