WATER BEACH Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WATER BEACH sales from November 2005 and October 2015 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 November 2005 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, which was also at 38% below the HPI.

What might WATER BEACH be worth now?

WATER BEACH might now be worth an estimated £567,816.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.9%, between October 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Waverley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WATER BEACH of £462,000 on 16th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £462,000 to £567,816 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WATER BEACH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Waverley local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £462,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WATER BEACH has not materially changed since October 2015.
