CHESTNUT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CHESTNUT COTTAGE sales between June 1999 and February 2010 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 2005 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might CHESTNUT COTTAGE be worth now?

CHESTNUT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £480,866.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.9%, between February 2010 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Test Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHESTNUT COTTAGE of £268,760 on 5th February 2010. For the value to have increased from £268,760 to £480,866 over the fourteen years and eleven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHESTNUT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Test Valley local authority area.
• The February 2010 sale price of £268,760 represented a fair market value for the property.
