DAMAR 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 DAMAR sales from November 2002 and August 2006 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 November 2002 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2006 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might DAMAR be worth now?

DAMAR might now be worth an estimated £382,670.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.8%, between August 2006 and December 2024, 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 62.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DAMAR of £235,000 on 15th August 2006. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £382,670 over the seventeen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DAMAR has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The August 2006 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DAMAR has not materially changed since August 2006.
