DOWNTON 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 DOWNTON sales from July 2003 and September 2005 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 July 2003 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might DOWNTON be worth now?

DOWNTON might now be worth an estimated £293,761.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.8%, between September 2005 and February 2025, 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 72.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWNTON of £170,000 on 9th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £293,761 over the twenty years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOWNTON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOWNTON has not materially changed since September 2005.
