OLD ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD ORCHARD sales from June 2016 and June 2023 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 June 2016 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might OLD ORCHARD be worth now?

OLD ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £507,619.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.5%, between June 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD ORCHARD of £495,000 on 26th June 2023. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £507,619 over the two years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The June 2023 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD ORCHARD has not materially changed since June 2023.
