THE TOWER 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 TOWER sales from August 1997 and May 2023 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 1997 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 69% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% below the HPI.

What might THE TOWER be worth now?

THE TOWER might now be worth an estimated £142,524.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.8%, between May 2023 and February 2025, 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 1.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE TOWER of £140,000 on 12th May 2023. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £142,524 over the two years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE TOWER has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The May 2023 sale price of £140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE TOWER has not materially changed since May 2023.
