CROSS 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 two CROSS COTTAGE sales from September 1997 and September 1999 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 1997 sale was for 64% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% below the HPI over time, until the September 1999 sale, where it falls to 65% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% below the HPI.

What might CROSS COTTAGE be worth now?

CROSS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £155,828.

This is based on house price inflation of 271%, between September 1999 and March 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 271% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROSS COTTAGE of £42,000 on 1st September 1999. For the value to have increased from £42,000 to £155,828 over the 26 years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROSS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The September 1999 sale price of £42,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROSS COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 1999.
