THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LAURELS sales from August 2018 and March 2021 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 2018 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £373,431.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.5%, between March 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £312,500 on 10th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £312,500 to £373,431 over the two 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 Shropshire local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £312,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since March 2021.
