LARCHMEAD 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 two LARCHMEAD sales from July 1996 and July 1998 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 July 1996 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the July 1998 sale, where it falls to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might LARCHMEAD be worth now?

LARCHMEAD might now be worth an estimated £1,175,321.

This is based on house price inflation of 305.3%, between July 1998 and June 2025, 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 305.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LARCHMEAD of £290,000 on 17th July 1998. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £1,175,321 over the 27 years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LARCHMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The July 1998 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LARCHMEAD has not materially changed since July 1998.
