ALTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ALTON COTTAGE sales from October 2017 and July 2019 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 October 2017 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might ALTON COTTAGE be worth now?

ALTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £570,079.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.6%, between July 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wyre Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ALTON COTTAGE of £457,500 on 30th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £457,500 to £570,079 over the six years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ALTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wyre Forest local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £457,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
