THE CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Barnet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CREST sales from December 2005 and August 2016 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 2005 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might THE CREST be worth now?

THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £746,184.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.4%, between August 2016 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Barnet local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CREST of £670,000 on 12th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £670,000 to £746,184 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Barnet local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £670,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CREST has not materially changed since August 2016.
