LOTHLORIEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LOTHLORIEN sales from July 1998 and November 2022 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 1998 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 83% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 83% above the HPI.

What might LOTHLORIEN be worth now?

LOTHLORIEN might now be worth an estimated £818,387.

This is based on house price inflation of 7%, between November 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Staffordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LOTHLORIEN of £765,000 on 4th November 2022. For the value to have increased from £765,000 to £818,387 over the one year and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LOTHLORIEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Staffordshire local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £765,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LOTHLORIEN has not materially changed since November 2022.
