THE CHESTNUTS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CHESTNUTS sales from July 1996 and April 1999 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 1996 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the April 1999 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might THE CHESTNUTS be worth now?

THE CHESTNUTS might now be worth an estimated £1,001,317.

This is based on house price inflation of 280.7%, between April 1999 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Waverley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 280.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CHESTNUTS of £263,000 on 1st April 1999. For the value to have increased from £263,000 to £1,001,317 over the 24 years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CHESTNUTS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Waverley local authority area.
• The April 1999 sale price of £263,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CHESTNUTS has not materially changed since April 1999.
