The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 COTTAM GREEN sales between December 1995 and October 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 July 2007 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
42 COTTAM GREEN might now be worth an estimated £345,122.
This is based on house price inflation of 44.7%, between October 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Preston local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 44.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 COTTAM GREEN of £238,500 on 24th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £238,500 to £345,122 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
