THE SHIELING Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE SHIELING sales from December 1999 and December 2021 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 December 1999 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might THE SHIELING be worth now?

THE SHIELING might now be worth an estimated £430,257.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.3%, between December 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SHIELING of £370,000 on 9th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £430,257 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SHIELING has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SHIELING has not materially changed since December 2021.
