BLACKBIRD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BLACKBIRD COTTAGE sales from April 2010 and September 2019 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 April 2010 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might BLACKBIRD COTTAGE be worth now?

BLACKBIRD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £643,631.

This is based on house price inflation of 16%, between September 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLACKBIRD COTTAGE of £555,000 on 13th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £555,000 to £643,631 over the six years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLACKBIRD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £555,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLACKBIRD COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2019.
