BOOKENDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BOOKENDS sales between September 1996 and December 2002 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 October 2000 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might BOOKENDS be worth now?

BOOKENDS might now be worth an estimated £402,125.

This is based on house price inflation of 140.8%, between December 2002 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 140.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOOKENDS of £167,000 on 2nd December 2002. For the value to have increased from £167,000 to £402,125 over the 23 years and four months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOOKENDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk local authority area.
• The December 2002 sale price of £167,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOOKENDS has not materially changed since December 2002.
