FERNLEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FERNLEA sales from March 2010 and January 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 March 2010 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might FERNLEA be worth now?

FERNLEA might now be worth an estimated £522,724.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.6%, between January 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FERNLEA of £374,500 on 30th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £374,500 to £522,724 over the nine years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FERNLEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £374,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FERNLEA has not materially changed since January 2015.
