LITTLE GARTH 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 GARTH sales from September 1995 and February 2019 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 September 1995 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might LITTLE GARTH be worth now?

LITTLE GARTH might now be worth an estimated £367,125.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.4%, between February 2019 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 24.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE GARTH of £295,000 on 15th February 2019. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £367,125 over the six years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE GARTH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The February 2019 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE GARTH has not materially changed since February 2019.
