DISTANT VIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three DISTANT VIEW sales between September 2002 and June 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 October 2013 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might DISTANT VIEW be worth now?

DISTANT VIEW might now be worth an estimated £394,232.

This is based on house price inflation of 42.1%, between June 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 42.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DISTANT VIEW of £277,500 on 12th June 2015. For the value to have increased from £277,500 to £394,232 over the eight years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DISTANT VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The June 2015 sale price of £277,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DISTANT VIEW has not materially changed since June 2015.
