HILLCREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HILLCREST sales between March 2012 and September 2021 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 2016 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might HILLCREST be worth now?

HILLCREST might now be worth an estimated £315,750.

This is based on house price inflation of 14%, between September 2021 and December 2024, for semi-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 14% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLCREST of £277,000 on 16th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £277,000 to £315,750 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLCREST has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £277,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLCREST has not materially changed since September 2021.
