THE SHEILINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE SHEILINGS sales between October 2000 and September 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 October 2006 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might THE SHEILINGS be worth now?

THE SHEILINGS might now be worth an estimated £1,107,094.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.4%, between September 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 38.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SHEILINGS of £799,950 on 24th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £799,950 to £1,107,094 over the nine years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SHEILINGS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £799,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SHEILINGS has not materially changed since September 2014.
