ORCHARD HOUSE 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 three ORCHARD HOUSE sales between July 1997 and February 2016 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 2000 sale was for 177% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 177% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD HOUSE be worth now?

ORCHARD HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,644,852.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.1%, between February 2016 and December 2024, 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 31.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD HOUSE of £1,255,000 on 19th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £1,255,000 to £1,644,852 over the seven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £1,255,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD HOUSE has not materially changed since February 2016.
