CHURCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Norfolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CHURCH COTTAGE sales from May 2007 and August 2008 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 May 2007 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the August 2008 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might CHURCH COTTAGE be worth now?

CHURCH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £429,727.

This is based on house price inflation of 74%, between August 2008 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Norfolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHURCH COTTAGE of £247,000 on 29th August 2008. For the value to have increased from £247,000 to £429,727 over the fifteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHURCH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Norfolk local authority area.
• The August 2008 sale price of £247,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHURCH COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2008.
