HIGHLEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHLEA sales from October 1995 and October 2017 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 1995 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might HIGHLEA be worth now?

HIGHLEA might now be worth an estimated £383,770.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.1%, between October 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 37.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHLEA of £280,000 on 13th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £383,770 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHLEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHLEA has not materially changed since October 2017.
