LITTLE ACRE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four LITTLE ACRE sales between January 1995 and January 2020 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 2015 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might LITTLE ACRE be worth now?

LITTLE ACRE might now be worth an estimated £465,010.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between January 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE ACRE of £372,500 on 24th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £372,500 to £465,010 over the three years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE ACRE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stafford local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £372,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE ACRE has not materially changed since January 2020.
