BAY TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BAY TREE COTTAGE sales from September 2015 and March 2018 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 2015 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might BAY TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

BAY TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £425,714.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.3%, between March 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BAY TREE COTTAGE of £360,000 on 23rd March 2018. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £425,714 over the five years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The March 2018 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
