THE ROOKERY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ROOKERY sales from April 2006 and April 2008 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 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the April 2008 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might THE ROOKERY be worth now?

THE ROOKERY might now be worth an estimated £373,876.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.2%, between April 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ROOKERY of £225,000 on 4th April 2008. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £373,876 over the seventeen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ROOKERY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The April 2008 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ROOKERY has not materially changed since April 2008.
