THE PIPPINS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE PIPPINS sales from June 1997 and May 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 June 1997 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it rises to 81% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 81% above the HPI.

What might THE PIPPINS be worth now?

THE PIPPINS might now be worth an estimated £525,239.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.4%, between May 2007 and February 2025, for semi-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 55.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE PIPPINS of £338,000 on 17th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £338,000 to £525,239 over the eighteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE PIPPINS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The May 2007 sale price of £338,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE PIPPINS has not materially changed since May 2007.
