I bought a book today and inside it was this builders brochure dated 1956

I guess house prices have risen down there in the last 60 years [url]

When I bought last year from the original purchaser's family we found the developer's brochure similar to yours.

I calculated it was 12% p.a. compound return from 1967. Tax free.

Can only hope the additional provenance will mean it's worth more in the future; matching numbers!

20% compound over fifty years? Really?

My mistake, more like 10-13%.

A grand in 67 would have been about twenty million by now! You had me all excited.

The big Walton design in Esher is probably comfortably over a million now so even better.

The Walton in Esher at £5615 in 1956 is £97,000 at today's money according to the historic money calculator
