4 SPRING COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Calderdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 SPRING COTTAGE sales from July 1996 and June 2001 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 July 1996 sale was for 59% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% below the HPI over time, until the June 2001 sale, where it rises to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.

What might 4 SPRING COTTAGE be worth now?

The 252.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 SPRING COTTAGE of £42,500 on 29th June 2001. For the value to have increased from £42,500 to £149,847 over the 22 years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
