1 PLUM TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Eastleigh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 PLUM TREE COTTAGE sales between October 1997 and October 2013 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 2008 sale was for 118% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 118% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it falls to 110% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 110% above the HPI.

What might 1 PLUM TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

1 PLUM TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £745,974.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.5%, between October 2013 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Eastleigh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 73.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 PLUM TREE COTTAGE of £430,000 on 31st October 2013. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £745,974 over the ten years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The October 2013 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
