DOWNTON Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three DOWNTON sales between July 2002 and September 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 July 2006 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might DOWNTON be worth now?

DOWNTON might now be worth an estimated £287,355.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.7%, between September 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Herefordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 49.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWNTON of £192,000 on 11th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £192,000 to £287,355 over the ten 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 semi-detached houses in the Herefordshire local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £192,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOWNTON has not materially changed since September 2015.
