BOTANY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the High Peak local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BOTANY COTTAGE sales from February 2001 and May 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 February 2001 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might BOTANY COTTAGE be worth now?

BOTANY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £379,388.

This is based on house price inflation of 144.8%, between May 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the High Peak local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 144.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOTANY COTTAGE of £155,000 on 19th May 2003. For the value to have increased from £155,000 to £379,388 over the 22 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOTANY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the High Peak local authority area.
• The May 2003 sale price of £155,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
