THE TIMBERS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE TIMBERS sales between December 2009 and November 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 November 2015 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might THE TIMBERS be worth now?

THE TIMBERS might now be worth an estimated £681,336.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.8%, between November 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE TIMBERS of £650,000 on 5th November 2021. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £681,336 over the two years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE TIMBERS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE TIMBERS has not materially changed since November 2021.
