THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LAURELS sales from November 2003 and March 2024 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 November 2003 sale was for 77% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 77% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £428,102.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.5%, between March 2024 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £409,750 on 14th March 2024. For the value to have increased from £409,750 to £428,102 over the nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The March 2024 sale price of £409,750 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since March 2024.
