THE FOLLY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheltenham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FOLLY sales between June 1996 and September 2016 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 January 2005 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might THE FOLLY be worth now?

THE FOLLY might now be worth an estimated £1,103,377.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.8%, between September 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cheltenham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 38.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FOLLY of £795,000 on 26th September 2016. For the value to have increased from £795,000 to £1,103,377 over the nine years and seven 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 Cheltenham local authority area.
• The September 2016 sale price of £795,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FOLLY has not materially changed since September 2016.
