COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three COTTAGE sales between October 2003 and October 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 June 2017 sale was for 59% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might COTTAGE be worth now?

COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £370,326.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.9%, between October 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Worcester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COTTAGE of £285,000 on 9th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £370,326 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Worcester local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2017.
