LORTON Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LORTON sales between September 1998 and April 2018 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 March 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might LORTON be worth now?

LORTON might now be worth an estimated £347,496.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.9%, between April 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LORTON of £287,500 on 6th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £287,500 to £347,496 over the five years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LORTON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £287,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LORTON has not materially changed since April 2018.
