THE MOUNT 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 three THE MOUNT sales between June 1998 and November 2019 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 November 2002 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might THE MOUNT be worth now?

THE MOUNT might now be worth an estimated £494,333.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.4%, between November 2019 and February 2025, 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 28.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE MOUNT of £385,000 on 7th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £494,333 over the six years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE MOUNT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE MOUNT has not materially changed since November 2019.
