LONG BATCH 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 three LONG BATCH sales between July 1996 and August 2017 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 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might LONG BATCH be worth now?

LONG BATCH might now be worth an estimated £511,893.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.6%, between August 2017 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 29.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONG BATCH of £395,000 on 8th August 2017. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £511,893 over the six years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONG BATCH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £395,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONG BATCH has not materially changed since August 2017.
