BEECH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BEECH COTTAGE sales between April 1997 and April 2023 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 2012 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might BEECH COTTAGE be worth now?

BEECH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £956,675.

This is based on house price deflation of 7.8%, between April 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for BEECH COTTAGE of £1,037,500 on 18th April 2023. For the value to have decreased from £1,037,500 to £956,675 over the two years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEECH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The April 2023 sale price of £1,037,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEECH COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2023.
