WITS END Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WITS END sales from May 1999 and November 2016 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 May 1999 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might WITS END be worth now?

WITS END might now be worth an estimated £821,997.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.7%, between November 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WITS END of £670,000 on 18th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £670,000 to £821,997 over the nine years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WITS END has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £670,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WITS END has not materially changed since November 2016.
