COMBE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three COMBE COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and November 2022 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 August 2005 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might COMBE COTTAGE be worth now?

COMBE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £500,263.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.9%, between November 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.9% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for COMBE COTTAGE of £515,000 on 29th November 2022. For the value to have decreased from £515,000 to £500,263 over the three years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COMBE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COMBE COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2022.
