WOODLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WOODLANDS sales between May 2001 and January 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 November 2017 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might WOODLANDS be worth now?

WOODLANDS might now be worth an estimated £706,845.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.1%, between January 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WOODLANDS of £625,000 on 15th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £706,845 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WOODLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WOODLANDS has not materially changed since January 2021.
