SNOWDROP LODGE 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 SNOWDROP LODGE sales from December 2005 and May 2021 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 2005 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 64% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 64% above the HPI.

What might SNOWDROP LODGE be worth now?

SNOWDROP LODGE might now be worth an estimated £725,919.

This is based on house price inflation of 19%, between May 2021 and December 2024, 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 19% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SNOWDROP LODGE of £610,000 on 11th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £610,000 to £725,919 over the two years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SNOWDROP LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The May 2021 sale price of £610,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SNOWDROP LODGE has not materially changed since May 2021.
