DILLY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DILLY sales from June 2003 and December 2011 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 2003 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might DILLY be worth now?

DILLY might now be worth an estimated £712,792.

This is based on house price inflation of 69.1%, between December 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 69.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DILLY of £421,500 on 22nd December 2011. For the value to have increased from £421,500 to £712,792 over the thirteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DILLY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2011 sale price of £421,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DILLY has not materially changed since December 2011.
