THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE LAURELS sales between May 2012 and March 2018 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 2014 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £379,887.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.6%, between March 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wychavon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £305,000 on 28th March 2018. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £379,887 over the five years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wychavon local authority area.
• The March 2018 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since March 2018.
