GENISTA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GENISTA sales from May 2012 and June 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 May 2012 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might GENISTA be worth now?

GENISTA might now be worth an estimated £442,123.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.9%, between June 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 57.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GENISTA of £280,000 on 19th June 2015. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £442,123 over the eight years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GENISTA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The June 2015 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GENISTA has not materially changed since June 2015.
