1 SMITHY COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 SMITHY COTTAGES sales from June 2002 and December 2004 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 June 2002 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the December 2004 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might 1 SMITHY COTTAGES be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.3%, between December 2004 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 SMITHY COTTAGES of £177,950 on 13th December 2004. For the value to have increased from £177,950 to £304,915 over the 21 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
