THE SQUIRRELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE SQUIRRELS sales from March 2003 and September 2012 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 March 2003 sale was for 105% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 105% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it rises to 106% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 106% above the HPI.

What might THE SQUIRRELS be worth now?

THE SQUIRRELS might now be worth an estimated £775,661.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.7%, between September 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SQUIRRELS of £495,000 on 28th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £775,661 over the eleven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SQUIRRELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stafford local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SQUIRRELS has not materially changed since September 2012.
