IONA 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 four IONA sales between July 1996 and June 2013 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 January 2007 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might IONA be worth now?

IONA might now be worth an estimated £284,823.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.2%, between June 2013 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 64.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for IONA of £173,500 on 7th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £173,500 to £284,823 over the twelve years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of IONA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £173,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of IONA has not materially changed since June 2013.
