MELBURY HOUSE 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 MELBURY HOUSE sales from August 1996 and March 2012 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 1996 sale was for 353% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 353% above the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it rises to 423% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 423% above the HPI.

What might MELBURY HOUSE be worth now?

MELBURY HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £4,123,424.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.8%, between March 2012 and February 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 71.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MELBURY HOUSE of £2,400,000 on 13th March 2012. For the value to have increased from £2,400,000 to £4,123,424 over the thirteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
