BIRCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North West Leicestershire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCH COTTAGE sales from October 2015 and January 2024 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 2015 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 292% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 292% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH COTTAGE be worth now?

BIRCH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,557,174.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.4%, between January 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North West Leicestershire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH COTTAGE of £1,450,000 on 31st January 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,450,000 to £1,557,174 over the eleven 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 North West Leicestershire local authority area.
• The January 2024 sale price of £1,450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
