BRIAR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BRIAR COTTAGE sales from December 2009 and November 2022 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 2009 sale was for 111% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 111% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.

What might BRIAR COTTAGE be worth now?

BRIAR COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £762,023.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.8%, between November 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRIAR COTTAGE of £720,000 on 2nd November 2022. For the value to have increased from £720,000 to £762,023 over the one year and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRIAR COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £720,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRIAR COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2022.
