CROWS NEST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CROWS NEST sales from October 1996 and August 2009 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 October 1996 sale was for 74% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% above the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might CROWS NEST be worth now?

CROWS NEST might now be worth an estimated £853,764.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.5%, between August 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 72.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROWS NEST of £495,000 on 10th August 2009. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £853,764 over the sixteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROWS NEST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The August 2009 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROWS NEST has not materially changed since August 2009.
