2 LONGS COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 LONGS COTTAGES sales between April 2005 and May 2020 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 August 2013 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 2 LONGS COTTAGES be worth now?

2 LONGS COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £332,597.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.4%, between May 2020 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 LONGS COTTAGES of £274,000 on 28th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £274,000 to £332,597 over the three years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 LONGS COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The May 2020 sale price of £274,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
