CRESSBROOK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CRESSBROOK sales between April 2002 and May 2014 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 2009 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might CRESSBROOK be worth now?

CRESSBROOK might now be worth an estimated £375,342.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.1%, between May 2014 and December 2024, for 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 50.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CRESSBROOK of £250,000 on 8th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £375,342 over the nine years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CRESSBROOK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CRESSBROOK has not materially changed since May 2014.
