BITTERSWEET COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Runnymede local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BITTERSWEET COTTAGE sales from June 1999 and October 2003 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 June 1999 sale was for 76% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% above the HPI over time, until the October 2003 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might BITTERSWEET COTTAGE be worth now?

BITTERSWEET COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,103,945.

This is based on house price inflation of 121.2%, between October 2003 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Runnymede local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 121.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BITTERSWEET COTTAGE of £499,000 on 24th October 2003. For the value to have increased from £499,000 to £1,103,945 over the twenty years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BITTERSWEET COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Runnymede local authority area.
• The October 2003 sale price of £499,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BITTERSWEET COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2003.
