DENCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three DENCROFT sales between April 1999 and August 2014 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 2002 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might DENCROFT be worth now?

DENCROFT might now be worth an estimated £378,919.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.6%, between August 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stroud local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 51.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DENCROFT of £250,000 on 29th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £378,919 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DENCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stroud local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DENCROFT has not materially changed since August 2014.
