THE CHESTNUTS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE CHESTNUTS sales between December 1997 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 July 2019 sale was for 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 86% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 86% above the HPI.

What might THE CHESTNUTS be worth now?

THE CHESTNUTS might now be worth an estimated £857,303.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between December 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CHESTNUTS of £745,000 on 18th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £745,000 to £857,303 over the five years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CHESTNUTS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £745,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CHESTNUTS has not materially changed since December 2020.
