BEES KNEES COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BEES KNEES COTTAGE sales from May 2002 and October 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 May 2002 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might BEES KNEES COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 26.4%, between October 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wyre Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEES KNEES COTTAGE of £393,000 on 29th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £393,000 to £496,640 over the seven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The October 2018 sale price of £393,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
