RIDGE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RIDGE HOUSE sales from September 2005 and January 2007 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 September 2005 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the January 2007 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might RIDGE HOUSE be worth now?

RIDGE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £832,751.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.6%, between January 2007 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RIDGE HOUSE of £499,950 on 12th January 2007. For the value to have increased from £499,950 to £832,751 over the seventeen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RIDGE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The January 2007 sale price of £499,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RIDGE HOUSE has not materially changed since January 2007.
