THE CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE CREST sales between May 2005 and April 2019 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 December 2018 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might THE CREST be worth now?

THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £378,376.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.6%, between April 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Swindon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CREST of £319,083 on 10th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £319,083 to £378,376 over the six years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swindon local authority area.
• The April 2019 sale price of £319,083 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CREST has not materially changed since April 2019.
