BOX COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BOX COTTAGE sales from March 1998 and April 2002 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 March 1998 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the April 2002 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might BOX COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 140.6%, between April 2002 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 140.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOX COTTAGE of £240,000 on 12th April 2002. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £577,478 over the 23 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
