LITTLE COPSE 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 LITTLE COPSE sales from August 2002 and September 2005 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 2002 sale was for 59% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% below the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might LITTLE COPSE be worth now?

LITTLE COPSE might now be worth an estimated £455,401.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.8%, between September 2005 and December 2024, 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 71.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE COPSE of £265,000 on 7th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £455,401 over the eighteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE COPSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE COPSE has not materially changed since September 2005.
