LITTLE BATSON Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LITTLE BATSON sales from August 2001 and September 2012 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 August 2001 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it rises to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.

What might LITTLE BATSON be worth now?

LITTLE BATSON might now be worth an estimated £280,809.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.7%, between September 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 77.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE BATSON of £158,000 on 17th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £158,000 to £280,809 over the thirteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE BATSON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £158,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE BATSON has not materially changed since September 2012.
