FAR END Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FAR END sales from October 2013 and October 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 October 2013 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might FAR END be worth now?

FAR END might now be worth an estimated £447,140.

This is based on house price inflation of 49%, between October 2014 and December 2024, for 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% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FAR END of £300,000 on 13th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £447,140 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FAR END has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Herefordshire local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FAR END has not materially changed since October 2014.
