THE OLD RECTORY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD RECTORY sales from December 2011 and September 2013 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 December 2011 sale was for 229% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 229% above the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 227% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 227% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD RECTORY be worth now?

THE OLD RECTORY might now be worth an estimated £1,431,169.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.7%, between September 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Herefordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD RECTORY of £925,000 on 12th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £925,000 to £1,431,169 over the ten years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD RECTORY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Herefordshire local authority area.
• The September 2013 sale price of £925,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD RECTORY has not materially changed since September 2013.
