BOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BOW COTTAGE sales between December 2002 and March 2012 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 October 2003 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it rises to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.

What might BOW COTTAGE be worth now?

BOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £580,736.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.4%, between March 2012 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 73.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOW COTTAGE of £335,000 on 9th March 2012. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £580,736 over the eleven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The March 2012 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2012.
