THE ENGINE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ENGINE HOUSE sales from April 2004 and April 2006 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 April 2004 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the April 2006 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might THE ENGINE HOUSE be worth now?

THE ENGINE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £688,967.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.2%, between April 2006 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 72.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ENGINE HOUSE of £400,000 on 28th April 2006. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £688,967 over the eighteen years and ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ENGINE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area.
• The April 2006 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ENGINE HOUSE has not materially changed since April 2006.
