BROOK 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 BROOK COTTAGE sales between July 2001 and August 2020 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 November 2016 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might BROOK COTTAGE be worth now?

BROOK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £739,583.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.8%, between August 2020 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 13.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BROOK COTTAGE of £650,000 on 14th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £739,583 over the five years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BROOK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The August 2020 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BROOK COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2020.
