COMPASSES COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three COMPASSES COTTAGE sales between May 1998 and December 2017 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 2009 sale was for 69% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.

What might COMPASSES COTTAGE be worth now?

COMPASSES COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £200,240.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.2%, between December 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COMPASSES COTTAGE of £147,000 on 20th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £147,000 to £200,240 over the eight years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COMPASSES COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £147,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
