RYECROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RYECROFT sales between June 1996 and September 2008 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 March 1999 sale was for 126% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 126% above the HPI over time, until the September 2008 sale, where it rises to 138% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 138% above the HPI.

What might RYECROFT be worth now?

RYECROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,053,759.

This is based on house price inflation of 55%, between September 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Herefordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RYECROFT of £680,000 on 5th September 2008. For the value to have increased from £680,000 to £1,053,759 over the seventeen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RYECROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Herefordshire local authority area.
• The September 2008 sale price of £680,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RYECROFT has not materially changed since September 2008.
