HIGHFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHFIELD sales from July 1997 and October 2016 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 July 1997 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 110% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 110% above the HPI.

What might HIGHFIELD be worth now?

HIGHFIELD might now be worth an estimated £1,908,613.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.7%, between October 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Waverley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHFIELD of £1,595,000 on 27th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £1,595,000 to £1,908,613 over the seven years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Waverley local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £1,595,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHFIELD has not materially changed since October 2016.
