RIDGETHORP 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 RIDGETHORP sales from July 2002 and October 2011 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 July 2002 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might RIDGETHORP be worth now?

RIDGETHORP might now be worth an estimated £514,490.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.3%, between October 2011 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 63.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RIDGETHORP of £315,000 on 12th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £514,490 over the fourteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RIDGETHORP has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The October 2011 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RIDGETHORP has not materially changed since October 2011.
