OAKDENE 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 OAKDENE sales from July 2003 and August 2017 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 2003 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks in line HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, which was also at roughly the same level as the HPI.

What might OAKDENE be worth now?

OAKDENE might now be worth an estimated £787,896.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.1%, between August 2017 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 25.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAKDENE of £630,000 on 23rd August 2017. For the value to have increased from £630,000 to £787,896 over the eight years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAKDENE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £630,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAKDENE has not materially changed since August 2017.
