THE BROWN HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BROWN HOUSE sales between August 2004 and October 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 August 2014 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might THE BROWN HOUSE be worth now?

THE BROWN HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £699,614.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.8%, between October 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BROWN HOUSE of £615,000 on 1st October 2020. For the value to have increased from £615,000 to £699,614 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BROWN HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £615,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BROWN HOUSE has not materially changed since October 2020.
