THE BEECHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BEECHES sales between September 2009 and December 2020 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 April 2011 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 93% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 93% above the HPI.

What might THE BEECHES be worth now?

THE BEECHES might now be worth an estimated £537,260.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.4%, between December 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BEECHES of £450,000 on 10th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £537,260 over the five years and ten months 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 Cumberland local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BEECHES has not materially changed since December 2020.
