DRODDUM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four DRODDUM sales between August 2002 and September 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 December 2007 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 76% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 76% above the HPI.

What might DRODDUM be worth now?

DRODDUM might now be worth an estimated £717,709.

This is based on house price inflation of 47.4%, between September 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 47.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DRODDUM of £487,000 on 10th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £487,000 to £717,709 over the eleven years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DRODDUM has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £487,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DRODDUM has not materially changed since September 2014.
