RIVER LEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RIVER LEA sales from December 2001 and December 2003 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 2001 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the December 2003 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might RIVER LEA be worth now?

RIVER LEA might now be worth an estimated £714,927.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.2%, between December 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 93.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RIVER LEA of £370,000 on 12th December 2003. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £714,927 over the 22 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RIVER LEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The December 2003 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RIVER LEA has not materially changed since December 2003.
