SPARROWS HERNE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SPARROWS HERNE sales from July 2004 and November 2011 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 July 2004 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might SPARROWS HERNE be worth now?

SPARROWS HERNE might now be worth an estimated £519,352.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.6%, between November 2011 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 63.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SPARROWS HERNE of £317,500 on 29th November 2011. For the value to have increased from £317,500 to £519,352 over the fourteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SPARROWS HERNE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The November 2011 sale price of £317,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SPARROWS HERNE has not materially changed since November 2011.
