THE LIGHTHOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE LIGHTHOUSE sales between September 2003 and August 2015 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 March 2009 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might THE LIGHTHOUSE be worth now?

THE LIGHTHOUSE might now be worth an estimated £348,698.

This is based on house price inflation of 42.3%, between August 2015 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 42.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LIGHTHOUSE of £245,000 on 10th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £348,698 over the ten years and two months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LIGHTHOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LIGHTHOUSE has not materially changed since August 2015.
