THE FOLLIES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FOLLIES sales from August 2013 and October 2019 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 August 2013 sale was for 132% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 132% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 113% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 113% above the HPI.

What might THE FOLLIES be worth now?

THE FOLLIES might now be worth an estimated £1,402,696.

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between October 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FOLLIES of £1,220,000 on 30th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £1,220,000 to £1,402,696 over the six years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FOLLIES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £1,220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FOLLIES has not materially changed since October 2019.
