THE RIDGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tewkesbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE RIDGE sales between July 2002 and October 2014 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 April 2006 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might THE RIDGE be worth now?

THE RIDGE might now be worth an estimated £397,243.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.1%, between October 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Tewkesbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE RIDGE of £245,000 on 31st October 2014. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £397,243 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE RIDGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tewkesbury local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE RIDGE has not materially changed since October 2014.
