STONECROFT 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 STONECROFT sales from July 1998 and June 2004 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 1998 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might STONECROFT be worth now?

STONECROFT might now be worth an estimated £447,375.

This is based on house price inflation of 79%, between June 2004 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 79% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STONECROFT of £249,950 on 4th June 2004. For the value to have increased from £249,950 to £447,375 over the nineteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STONECROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The June 2004 sale price of £249,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STONECROFT has not materially changed since June 2004.
