LOTHIAN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LOTHIAN sales between July 2004 and May 2016 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 May 2011 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might LOTHIAN be worth now?

LOTHIAN might now be worth an estimated £345,095.

This is based on house price inflation of 38%, between May 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Swale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 38% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LOTHIAN of £250,000 on 12th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £345,095 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LOTHIAN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LOTHIAN has not materially changed since May 2016.
