THE RETREAT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE RETREAT sales from May 1999 and September 1999 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 May 1999 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the September 1999 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might THE RETREAT be worth now?

THE RETREAT might now be worth an estimated £477,971.

This is based on house price inflation of 234.2%, between September 1999 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 234.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE RETREAT of £143,000 on 29th September 1999. For the value to have increased from £143,000 to £477,971 over the 24 years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE RETREAT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The September 1999 sale price of £143,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE RETREAT has not materially changed since September 1999.
