THE NOOK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE NOOK sales from June 2017 and July 2022 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 June 2017 sale was for 93% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 93% above the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it falls to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might THE NOOK be worth now?

THE NOOK might now be worth an estimated £715,986.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.8%, between July 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Worcester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE NOOK of £683,000 on 5th July 2022. For the value to have increased from £683,000 to £715,986 over the one year and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE NOOK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Worcester local authority area.
• The July 2022 sale price of £683,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE NOOK has not materially changed since July 2022.
