CLARKS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CLARKS COTTAGE sales from June 2003 and April 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 June 2003 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might CLARKS COTTAGE be worth now?

CLARKS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £533,048.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.3%, between April 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 52.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CLARKS COTTAGE of £350,000 on 17th April 2014. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £533,048 over the nine years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CLARKS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The April 2014 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CLARKS COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2014.
