THE CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE CREST sales between October 1997 and September 2023 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 March 2019 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might THE CREST be worth now?

THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £1,196,144.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.8%, between September 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mole Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CREST of £1,230,000 on 19th September 2023. For the value to have decreased from £1,230,000 to £1,196,144 over the nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mole Valley local authority area.
• The September 2023 sale price of £1,230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CREST has not materially changed since September 2023.
