CYPRESS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CYPRESS COTTAGE sales from October 2000 and October 2019 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 October 2000 sale was for 83% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 83% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might CYPRESS COTTAGE be worth now?

CYPRESS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £787,550.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.6%, between October 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CYPRESS COTTAGE of £612,500 on 22nd October 2019. For the value to have increased from £612,500 to £787,550 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CYPRESS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £612,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CYPRESS COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2019.
