COTSWOLD 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 COTSWOLD sales between April 2011 and May 2021 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 November 2015 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might COTSWOLD be worth now?

COTSWOLD might now be worth an estimated £314,499.

This is based on house price inflation of 21%, between May 2021 and December 2024, 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 21% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COTSWOLD of £259,950 on 4th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £259,950 to £314,499 over the two years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COTSWOLD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The May 2021 sale price of £259,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COTSWOLD has not materially changed since May 2021.
