THE TEMPERANCE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE TEMPERANCE HOUSE sales from July 1996 and April 2015 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 July 1996 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might THE TEMPERANCE HOUSE be worth now?

THE TEMPERANCE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £346,004.

This is based on house price inflation of 53.8%, between April 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 53.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE TEMPERANCE HOUSE of £225,000 on 13th April 2015. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £346,004 over the ten years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE TEMPERANCE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The April 2015 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE TEMPERANCE HOUSE has not materially changed since April 2015.
