THE OLD RECTORY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD RECTORY sales from March 2015 and August 2025 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 2015 sale was for 155% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 155% above the HPI over time, until the August 2025 sale, where it falls to 139% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 139% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD RECTORY be worth now?

THE OLD RECTORY might now be worth an estimated £1,096,779.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between August 2025 and May 2026, for detached 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 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD RECTORY of £1,075,000 on 12th August 2025. For the value to have increased from £1,075,000 to £1,096,779 over the one year and three months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD RECTORY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The August 2025 sale price of £1,075,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD RECTORY has not materially changed since August 2025.
