This calculator applies a constant annual growth rate to your property's current value, compounding year on year, to estimate what it could be worth in the future. It's the same principle as compound interest on savings, applied to property instead.
UK house prices have grown by around 4.5% a year on average over the long term, though this varies enormously by period and location — some years and regions see double-digit growth, others see prices fall. The default rate here is a reasonable long-run starting point, but it's worth trying a lower and higher rate to see how sensitive your projection is to that assumption.
It's important to treat this as a rough planning tool rather than a forecast. Past growth is no guarantee of future performance, and this calculator doesn't account for costs like maintenance, mortgage interest, or the effects of inflation on the real value of that future price.
There's no single right answer — UK house prices have averaged around 4.5% a year over the long term, but any given year or area can vary widely. Try a range of rates either side of the default to get a sense of a realistic best and worst case, rather than relying on a single number.
No, this shows the projected cash value of the property in future pounds, not adjusted for inflation. If prices grow at, say, 4.5% a year but general inflation is running at 3%, the real, inflation-adjusted increase in value is closer to 1.5% a year.
National averages blur enormous regional and local differences — some cities and towns have consistently outpaced or lagged the national figure for years. The type, condition and location of a specific property, along with local supply and demand, all matter more than any single national average.
It's a starting point. To estimate your future equity, you'd also need to factor in how much you still owe on your mortgage at that point, which depends on your repayment schedule and any overpayments. Combining this projection with a mortgage repayment calculator gives a fuller picture.
A free valuation gives you a realistic starting point before you project years of growth on top.
