CYPRESS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CYPRESS sales from July 2000 and September 2017 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 July 2000 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might CYPRESS be worth now?

CYPRESS might now be worth an estimated £259,784.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.7%, between September 2017 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CYPRESS of £205,000 on 4th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £259,784 over the eight years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CYPRESS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £205,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CYPRESS has not materially changed since September 2017.
