WHITMORE 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 WHITMORE sales from July 1995 and September 2020 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 July 1995 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might WHITMORE be worth now?

WHITMORE might now be worth an estimated £1,363,617.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.1%, between September 2020 and December 2024, 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 9.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITMORE of £1,250,000 on 23rd September 2020. For the value to have increased from £1,250,000 to £1,363,617 over the three years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITMORE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area.
• The September 2020 sale price of £1,250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITMORE has not materially changed since September 2020.
