OWL PEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OWL PEN sales from June 2000 and November 2014 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 185% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 185% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 304% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 304% above the HPI.

What might OWL PEN be worth now?

OWL PEN might now be worth an estimated £3,090,487.

This is based on house price inflation of 84%, between November 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Trafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 84% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OWL PEN of £1,680,000 on 12th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £1,680,000 to £3,090,487 over the eleven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OWL PEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Trafford local authority area.
• The November 2014 sale price of £1,680,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OWL PEN has not materially changed since November 2014.
