HIGHLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHLANDS sales from November 2005 and January 2023 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 November 2005 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might HIGHLANDS be worth now?

HIGHLANDS might now be worth an estimated £587,386.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.1%, between January 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHLANDS of £600,000 on 27th January 2023. For the value to have decreased from £600,000 to £587,386 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHLANDS has not materially changed since January 2023.
