BIRCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hart local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCH COTTAGE sales from October 1997 and July 2016 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 October 1997 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH COTTAGE be worth now?

BIRCH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £909,226.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.7%, between July 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Hart local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH COTTAGE of £735,000 on 19th July 2016. For the value to have increased from £735,000 to £909,226 over the nine years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Hart local authority area.
• The July 2016 sale price of £735,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCH COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2016.
