RYLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dudley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RYLANDS sales from September 2017 and March 2020 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 2017 sale was for 59% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might RYLANDS be worth now?

RYLANDS might now be worth an estimated £264,553.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.3%, between March 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dudley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RYLANDS of £199,950 on 19th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £199,950 to £264,553 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RYLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dudley local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £199,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RYLANDS has not materially changed since March 2020.
