DARROCH Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DARROCH sales from June 1999 and April 2015 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 June 1999 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it rises to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.

What might DARROCH be worth now?

DARROCH might now be worth an estimated £1,877,528.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.5%, between April 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mole Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DARROCH of £1,450,000 on 30th April 2015. For the value to have increased from £1,450,000 to £1,877,528 over the eight years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DARROCH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mole Valley local authority area.
• The April 2015 sale price of £1,450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DARROCH has not materially changed since April 2015.
