ORCHARD HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ORCHARD HOUSE sales between September 2005 and June 2013 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 December 2011 sale was for 113% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 113% above the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it falls to 88% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 88% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD HOUSE be worth now?

ORCHARD HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,742,414.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.1%, between June 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 75.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD HOUSE of £995,000 on 14th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £995,000 to £1,742,414 over the ten years and six 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 Dacorum local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £995,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD HOUSE has not materially changed since June 2013.
