COOMBE MEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two COOMBE MEAD sales from September 1999 and June 2012 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 September 1999 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might COOMBE MEAD be worth now?

COOMBE MEAD might now be worth an estimated £717,680.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.9%, between June 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 68.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COOMBE MEAD of £425,000 on 18th June 2012. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £717,680 over the eleven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COOMBE MEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COOMBE MEAD has not materially changed since June 2012.
