THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Lindsey local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CROFT sales from November 2016 and May 2022 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 November 2016 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 130% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 130% above the HPI.

What might THE CROFT be worth now?

THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £655,730.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.1%, between May 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the East Lindsey local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CROFT of £630,000 on 20th May 2022. For the value to have increased from £630,000 to £655,730 over the one year and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Lindsey local authority area.
• The May 2022 sale price of £630,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CROFT has not materially changed since May 2022.
