CREST HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CREST HOUSE sales between May 1995 and May 2021 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 August 2005 sale was for 171% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 171% above the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it falls to 153% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 153% above the HPI.

What might CREST HOUSE be worth now?

CREST HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,627,337.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.2%, between May 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CREST HOUSE of £1,400,000 on 24th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,400,000 to £1,627,337 over the two years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CREST HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The May 2021 sale price of £1,400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CREST HOUSE has not materially changed since May 2021.
