CHRISTMAS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CHRISTMAS COTTAGE sales from December 1998 and July 2023 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 1998 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might CHRISTMAS COTTAGE be worth now?

CHRISTMAS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £686,992.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.8%, between July 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Stroud local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHRISTMAS COTTAGE of £675,000 on 20th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £675,000 to £686,992 over the two years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHRISTMAS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stroud local authority area.
