THE RETREAT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE RETREAT sales from September 2010 and January 2019 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 September 2010 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might THE RETREAT be worth now?

THE RETREAT might now be worth an estimated £555,422.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.2%, between January 2019 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE RETREAT of £470,000 on 10th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £555,422 over the five years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE RETREAT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £470,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE RETREAT has not materially changed since January 2019.
