THE FOLLY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FOLLY sales between January 1998 and November 2020 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 2014 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might THE FOLLY be worth now?

THE FOLLY might now be worth an estimated £556,431.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.7%, between November 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Stafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FOLLY of £465,000 on 27th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £556,431 over the five years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FOLLY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stafford local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £465,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FOLLY has not materially changed since November 2020.
