THE QUEST Sold Prices

Land registry data shows two sales for THE QUEST since 1^st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Somerset local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two THE QUEST sales were for below the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).

Date	Price	HPI Price	Variation from HPI
1997 5 MAR	£83,500	£92,805	10% below HPI
1995 22 DEC	£75,000	£85,475	12% below HPI

THE QUEST 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 QUEST sales from December 1995 and March 1997 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 1995 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the March 1997 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might THE QUEST be worth now?

THE QUEST might now be worth an estimated £414,265.

This is based on house price inflation of 396.1%, between March 1997 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 396.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE QUEST of £83,500 on 5th March 1997. For the value to have increased from £83,500 to £414,265 over the 28 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE QUEST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The March 1997 sale price of £83,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE QUEST has not materially changed since March 1997.
