IDLE HILL 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 IDLE HILL sales from April 2001 and June 2004 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 April 2001 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might IDLE HILL be worth now?

IDLE HILL might now be worth an estimated £419,757.

This is based on house price inflation of 84.1%, between June 2004 and February 2025, 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 84.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for IDLE HILL of £228,000 on 23rd June 2004. For the value to have increased from £228,000 to £419,757 over the 21 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of IDLE HILL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The June 2004 sale price of £228,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of IDLE HILL has not materially changed since June 2004.
