THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CROFT sales from October 1999 and July 2010 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 1999 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might THE CROFT be worth now?

THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £289,114.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.2%, between July 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CROFT of £187,500 on 16th July 2010. For the value to have increased from £187,500 to £289,114 over the thirteen years and seven 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 Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area.
• The July 2010 sale price of £187,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CROFT has not materially changed since July 2010.
