BOWBRIDGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheltenham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BOWBRIDGE COTTAGE sales between June 1997 and March 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 December 2005 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

What might BOWBRIDGE COTTAGE be worth now?

BOWBRIDGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,418,068.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.4%, between March 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cheltenham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOWBRIDGE COTTAGE of £1,040,000 on 21st March 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,040,000 to £1,418,068 over the eight years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOWBRIDGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheltenham local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £1,040,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOWBRIDGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2017.
