HIGH TOR Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGH TOR sales from June 2013 and March 2020 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 June 2013 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.

What might HIGH TOR be worth now?

HIGH TOR might now be worth an estimated £525,591.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.7%, between March 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH TOR of £425,000 on 18th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £525,591 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH TOR has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stafford local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH TOR has not materially changed since March 2020.
