BEECH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BEECH COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and November 2022 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 August 2004 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might BEECH COTTAGE be worth now?

BEECH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £263,081.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.2%, between November 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEECH COTTAGE of £250,000 on 24th November 2022. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £263,081 over the one year and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEECH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEECH COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2022.
