BOW 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 BOW COTTAGE sales from December 2005 and December 2018 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 December 2005 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might BOW COTTAGE be worth now?

BOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £417,726.

This is based on house price inflation of 16%, between December 2018 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 16% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOW COTTAGE of £360,000 on 17th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £417,726 over the seven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2018.
