GALING Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GALING sales from August 2016 and April 2018 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 August 2016 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 116% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 116% above the HPI.

What might GALING be worth now?

GALING might now be worth an estimated £1,985,347.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.3%, between April 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GALING of £1,650,000 on 19th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £1,650,000 to £1,985,347 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GALING has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £1,650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GALING has not materially changed since April 2018.
