BLACKBOARD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BLACKBOARD COTTAGE sales from August 2002 and October 2017 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 August 2002 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might BLACKBOARD COTTAGE be worth now?

BLACKBOARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £334,841.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.8%, between October 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLACKBOARD COTTAGE of £275,000 on 4th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £334,841 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLACKBOARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLACKBOARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2017.
