CATERPILLAR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Guildford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four CATERPILLAR COTTAGE sales between January 1995 and April 2024 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 February 2003 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might CATERPILLAR COTTAGE be worth now?

CATERPILLAR COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £821,923.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.5%, between April 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Guildford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CATERPILLAR COTTAGE of £810,000 on 30th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £810,000 to £821,923 over the one year and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CATERPILLAR COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Guildford local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £810,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CATERPILLAR COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2024.
