THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LAURELS sales from April 2002 and June 2004 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 April 2002 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £643,327.

This is based on house price inflation of 118.8%, between June 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 118.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £294,000 on 24th June 2004. For the value to have increased from £294,000 to £643,327 over the 21 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The June 2004 sale price of £294,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since June 2004.
