FARTHINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tandridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FARTHINGS sales from January 1997 and August 2003 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 January 1997 sale was for 140% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 140% above the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it falls to 103% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 103% above the HPI.

What might FARTHINGS be worth now?

FARTHINGS might now be worth an estimated £1,814,165.

This is based on house price inflation of 103.8%, between August 2003 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Tandridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 103.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FARTHINGS of £890,000 on 15th August 2003. For the value to have increased from £890,000 to £1,814,165 over the twenty years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FARTHINGS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tandridge local authority area.
• The August 2003 sale price of £890,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FARTHINGS has not materially changed since August 2003.
