LYNDHURST 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 two LYNDHURST sales from March 1996 and October 2012 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 1996 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might LYNDHURST be worth now?

LYNDHURST might now be worth an estimated £790,186.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.4%, between October 2012 and February 2025, 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 66.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYNDHURST of £475,000 on 5th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £790,186 over the thirteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYNDHURST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2012 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYNDHURST has not materially changed since October 2012.
