TIMBERTOPS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TIMBERTOPS sales from October 1997 and August 2000 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 1997 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the August 2000 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might TIMBERTOPS be worth now?

TIMBERTOPS might now be worth an estimated £1,049,816.

This is based on house price inflation of 199.9%, between August 2000 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 199.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TIMBERTOPS of £350,000 on 25th August 2000. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £1,049,816 over the 25 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TIMBERTOPS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2000 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TIMBERTOPS has not materially changed since August 2000.
