LINDEN LEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the York local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LINDEN LEA sales from November 2002 and October 2009 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 2002 sale was for 88% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 118% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 118% above the HPI.

What might LINDEN LEA be worth now?

LINDEN LEA might now be worth an estimated £1,068,663.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.6%, between October 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the York local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 76.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LINDEN LEA of £605,000 on 23rd October 2009. For the value to have increased from £605,000 to £1,068,663 over the sixteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LINDEN LEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the York local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £605,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LINDEN LEA has not materially changed since October 2009.
