1 RAILWAY COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Guildford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 RAILWAY COTTAGES sales from November 2004 and May 2007 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 November 2004 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it falls to 54% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% below the HPI.

The 71.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 RAILWAY COTTAGES of £249,950 on 4th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £249,950 to £428,177 over the sixteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
