HESPER is a very small detached house of 45m², built sometime before 1900. It was last sold for £320,000 in October 2010, which was around 2% below the average October 2010 detached price in the Ashford local authority area. The most recent EPC inspection was June 2010, where the current energy rating was D, and the potential energy rating was C.
Land registry data shows two sales for HESPER since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Ashford local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two HESPER sales were for below the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
---|---|---|---|
2010 20 OCT | £320,000 | £327,512 | 2% below HPI |
2002 20 AUG | £195,000 | £221,262 | 12% below HPI |
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HESPER sales from August 2002 and October 2010 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 2002 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
