WALKERS REST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WALKERS REST sales from August 1999 and February 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 1999 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might WALKERS REST be worth now?

WALKERS REST might now be worth an estimated £400,492.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.2%, between February 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire 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 WALKERS REST of £347,500 on 26th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £347,500 to £400,492 over the four years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WALKERS REST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £347,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WALKERS REST has not materially changed since February 2021.
