1 STEPS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Warwickshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 STEPS COTTAGE sales from March 1996 and February 2014 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 1996 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it falls to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 1 STEPS COTTAGE be worth now?

1 STEPS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £373,156.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.8%, between February 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the North Warwickshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 58.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 STEPS COTTAGE of £235,000 on 7th February 2014. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £373,156 over the eleven years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 STEPS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Warwickshire local authority area.
• The February 2014 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
