WHISPERING TREES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Flintshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WHISPERING TREES sales from January 1998 and October 2017 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 January 1998 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might WHISPERING TREES be worth now?

WHISPERING TREES might now be worth an estimated £445,936.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.3%, between October 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Flintshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHISPERING TREES of £337,000 on 18th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £337,000 to £445,936 over the six years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHISPERING TREES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Flintshire local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £337,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
