MELBRECK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tandridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MELBRECK sales from December 1996 and June 1998 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 December 1996 sale was for 107% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 107% above the HPI over time, until the June 1998 sale, where it falls to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.

What might MELBRECK be worth now?

MELBRECK might now be worth an estimated £1,703,155.

This is based on house price inflation of 291.5%, between June 1998 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Tandridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 291.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MELBRECK of £435,000 on 5th June 1998. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £1,703,155 over the 25 years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MELBRECK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tandridge local authority area.
• The June 1998 sale price of £435,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MELBRECK has not materially changed since June 1998.
