THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE sales from November 2011 and October 2015 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 2011 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE be worth now?

THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £635,395.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.5%, between October 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 49.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE of £425,000 on 9th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £635,395 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
