BROOK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BROOK COTTAGE sales from October 2011 and September 2014 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 October 2011 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might BROOK COTTAGE be worth now?

BROOK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £508,820.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.5%, between September 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 61.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BROOK COTTAGE of £315,000 on 18th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £508,820 over the nine years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BROOK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BROOK COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2014.
