THISTLEDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THISTLEDOWN sales from August 2014 and January 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 August 2014 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.

What might THISTLEDOWN be worth now?

THISTLEDOWN might now be worth an estimated £778,394.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.5%, between January 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THISTLEDOWN of £680,000 on 18th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £680,000 to £778,394 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THISTLEDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £680,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THISTLEDOWN has not materially changed since January 2021.
