CROFT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the High Peak local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CROFT COTTAGE sales between September 1999 and December 2010 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 September 2002 sale was for 197% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 197% above the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it falls to 176% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 176% above the HPI.

What might CROFT COTTAGE be worth now?

CROFT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,246,233.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.3%, between December 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the High Peak local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 83.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROFT COTTAGE of £680,000 on 8th December 2010. For the value to have increased from £680,000 to £1,246,233 over the fifteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROFT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the High Peak local authority area.
• The December 2010 sale price of £680,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROFT COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2010.
