LONGWOOD EDGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LONGWOOD EDGE sales from July 2009 and September 2014 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 July 2009 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might LONGWOOD EDGE be worth now?

LONGWOOD EDGE might now be worth an estimated £385,015.

This is based on house price inflation of 54%, between September 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Isle of Wight local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONGWOOD EDGE of £250,000 on 5th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £385,015 over the nine years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONGWOOD EDGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Isle of Wight local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONGWOOD EDGE has not materially changed since September 2014.
