MELBURY HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MELBURY HOUSE sales between September 1996 and August 2014 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 2007 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might MELBURY HOUSE be worth now?

MELBURY HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £942,357.

This is based on house price inflation of 46.1%, between August 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 46.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MELBURY HOUSE of £645,000 on 1st August 2014. For the value to have increased from £645,000 to £942,357 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MELBURY HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £645,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MELBURY HOUSE has not materially changed since August 2014.
