THE BEECHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Guildford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BEECHES sales from November 2006 and March 2014 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 November 2006 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might THE BEECHES be worth now?

THE BEECHES might now be worth an estimated £683,684.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.5%, between March 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Guildford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BEECHES of £470,000 on 21st March 2014. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £683,684 over the eleven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BEECHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Guildford local authority area.
• The March 2014 sale price of £470,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BEECHES has not materially changed since March 2014.
