LORELEI Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LORELEI sales between March 1995 and January 2006 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 November 1998 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the January 2006 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might LORELEI be worth now?

LORELEI might now be worth an estimated £739,521.

This is based on house price inflation of 108.3%, between January 2006 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 108.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LORELEI of £355,000 on 12th January 2006. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £739,521 over the seventeen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LORELEI has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2006 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LORELEI has not materially changed since January 2006.
