TIMBERTOP Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Guildford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TIMBERTOP sales from October 2003 and June 2018 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 October 2003 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might TIMBERTOP be worth now?

TIMBERTOP might now be worth an estimated £1,152,308.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.2%, between June 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Guildford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TIMBERTOP of £1,000,000 on 6th June 2018. For the value to have increased from £1,000,000 to £1,152,308 over the five years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TIMBERTOP has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Guildford local authority area.
• The June 2018 sale price of £1,000,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TIMBERTOP has not materially changed since June 2018.
