2 POST COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 2 POST COTTAGES sales between December 1998 and September 2022 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 December 2019 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 2 POST COTTAGES be worth now?

2 POST COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £271,633.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.2%, between September 2022 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Isle of Wight local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 POST COTTAGES of £275,000 on 5th September 2022. For the value to have decreased from £275,000 to £271,633 over the three years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 POST COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Isle of Wight local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 POST COTTAGES has not materially changed since September 2022.
