BOURNE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BOURNE COTTAGE sales from February 2016 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 February 2016 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 78% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 78% above the HPI.

What might BOURNE COTTAGE be worth now?

BOURNE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £956,689.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.6%, between October 2017 and July 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOURNE COTTAGE of £800,000 on 26th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £800,000 to £956,689 over the eight years and three months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOURNE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £800,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
