THE PINES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE PINES sales from November 1996 and June 2007 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 1996 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might THE PINES be worth now?

THE PINES might now be worth an estimated £502,870.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.7%, between June 2007 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset 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 PINES of £325,000 on 1st June 2007. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £502,870 over the eighteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE PINES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The June 2007 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE PINES has not materially changed since June 2007.
