HIGHMEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HIGHMEAD sales between May 2001 and October 2022 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 October 2016 sale was for 79% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 112% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 112% above the HPI.

What might HIGHMEAD be worth now?

HIGHMEAD might now be worth an estimated £1,118,810.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.7%, between October 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stroud local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHMEAD of £1,162,000 on 3rd October 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,162,000 to £1,118,810 over the one year and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stroud local authority area.
• The October 2022 sale price of £1,162,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHMEAD has not materially changed since October 2022.
