ORCHARD HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ORCHARD HOUSE sales between July 1999 and September 2021 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 April 2000 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 90% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 90% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD HOUSE be worth now?

ORCHARD HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £842,484.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.2%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Herefordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD HOUSE of £725,000 on 27th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £842,484 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Herefordshire local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2021.
