HIGHCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Winchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HIGHCROFT sales between June 2009 and December 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 September 2012 sale was for 77% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 77% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.

What might HIGHCROFT be worth now?

HIGHCROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,528,978.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.4%, between December 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Winchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHCROFT of £1,385,000 on 18th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £1,385,000 to £1,528,978 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Winchester local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £1,385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHCROFT has not materially changed since December 2020.
