BRAMBLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BRAMBLE COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and December 2009 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 September 2001 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, which was also at 62% above the HPI.

What might BRAMBLE COTTAGE be worth now?

BRAMBLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £944,421.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.7%, between December 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRAMBLE COTTAGE of £550,000 on 1st December 2009. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £944,421 over the sixteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRAMBLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
