SPRINGFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SPRINGFIELD sales between November 1995 and January 2018 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 October 2007 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might SPRINGFIELD be worth now?

SPRINGFIELD might now be worth an estimated £436,471.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.9%, between January 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SPRINGFIELD of £355,000 on 26th January 2018. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £436,471 over the five years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SPRINGFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The January 2018 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SPRINGFIELD has not materially changed since January 2018.
