HIGHLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHLANDS sales from August 1997 and November 2005 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 August 1997 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might HIGHLANDS be worth now?

HIGHLANDS might now be worth an estimated £415,126.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.7%, between November 2005 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHLANDS of £260,000 on 30th November 2005. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £415,126 over the twenty years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The November 2005 sale price of £260,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHLANDS has not materially changed since November 2005.
