2 ALPINE COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 ALPINE COTTAGES sales between March 1998 and August 2023 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 roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 2 ALPINE COTTAGES be worth now?

2 ALPINE COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £352,005.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.5%, between August 2023 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Test Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 ALPINE COTTAGES of £340,000 on 22nd August 2023. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £352,005 over the two years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 ALPINE COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Test Valley local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
