SQUIRREL LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SQUIRREL LODGE sales between November 1998 and March 2017 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 2012 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 66% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 66% above the HPI.

What might SQUIRREL LODGE be worth now?

SQUIRREL LODGE might now be worth an estimated £1,051,937.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.9%, between March 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SQUIRREL LODGE of £885,000 on 31st March 2017. For the value to have increased from £885,000 to £1,051,937 over the six years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SQUIRREL LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £885,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SQUIRREL LODGE has not materially changed since March 2017.
