ORCHARD WAYE 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 ORCHARD WAYE sales from December 2005 and April 2019 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 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might ORCHARD WAYE be worth now?

ORCHARD WAYE might now be worth an estimated £458,591.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.6%, between April 2019 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 25.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD WAYE of £365,000 on 18th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £458,591 over the six years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD WAYE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The April 2019 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD WAYE has not materially changed since April 2019.
