BEECH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Winchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BEECH COTTAGE sales between August 1999 and March 2012 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 February 2007 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might BEECH COTTAGE be worth now?

BEECH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £868,467.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.9%, between March 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Winchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 63.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEECH COTTAGE of £530,000 on 29th March 2012. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £868,467 over the eleven years and three 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 Winchester local authority area.
• The March 2012 sale price of £530,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEECH COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2012.
