RYECROFT 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 three RYECROFT sales between December 2015 and May 2024 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 January 2021 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might RYECROFT be worth now?

RYECROFT might now be worth an estimated £288,649.

This is based on house price inflation of 5%, between May 2024 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 5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RYECROFT of £275,000 on 21st May 2024. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £288,649 over the one year and three 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 North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RYECROFT has not materially changed since May 2024.
