QUANTOCK EDGE 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 QUANTOCK EDGE sales from August 2001 and May 2006 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 August 2001 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might QUANTOCK EDGE be worth now?

QUANTOCK EDGE might now be worth an estimated £418,750.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.9%, between May 2006 and December 2024, 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 70.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for QUANTOCK EDGE of £245,000 on 26th May 2006. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £418,750 over the seventeen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of QUANTOCK EDGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The May 2006 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of QUANTOCK EDGE has not materially changed since May 2006.
