WHISPERING ELMS 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 WHISPERING ELMS sales from October 2011 and August 2014 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 October 2011 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might WHISPERING ELMS be worth now?

WHISPERING ELMS might now be worth an estimated £614,817.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.1%, between August 2014 and June 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 48.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHISPERING ELMS of £415,000 on 5th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £614,817 over the eleven years and two months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHISPERING ELMS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHISPERING ELMS has not materially changed since August 2014.
