SOUTHERN DRIFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SOUTHERN DRIFT sales from August 2013 and January 2022 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 August 2013 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might SOUTHERN DRIFT be worth now?

SOUTHERN DRIFT might now be worth an estimated £993,814.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.6%, between January 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SOUTHERN DRIFT of £950,000 on 6th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £950,000 to £993,814 over the two years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SOUTHERN DRIFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £950,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SOUTHERN DRIFT has not materially changed since January 2022.
