ARTHURS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ARTHURS COTTAGE sales from September 2003 and April 2005 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 September 2003 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the April 2005 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might ARTHURS COTTAGE be worth now?

ARTHURS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £531,188.

This is based on house price inflation of 112.5%, between April 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Waverley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 112.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ARTHURS COTTAGE of £250,000 on 28th April 2005. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £531,188 over the twenty years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ARTHURS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Waverley local authority area.
• The April 2005 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ARTHURS COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2005.
