VALLEY LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two VALLEY LODGE sales from October 2010 and January 2019 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 2010 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might VALLEY LODGE be worth now?

VALLEY LODGE might now be worth an estimated £1,036,702.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.3%, between January 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VALLEY LODGE of £915,000 on 18th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £915,000 to £1,036,702 over the five years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VALLEY LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £915,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VALLEY LODGE has not materially changed since January 2019.
