THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE CROFT sales between December 2003 and December 2014 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 October 2004 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might THE CROFT be worth now?

THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £902,182.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.4%, between December 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CROFT of £642,500 on 5th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £642,500 to £902,182 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The December 2014 sale price of £642,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CROFT has not materially changed since December 2014.
