DOLPHIN 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 four DOLPHIN COTTAGE sales between September 2000 and October 2020 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 July 2007 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might DOLPHIN COTTAGE be worth now?

DOLPHIN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £742,105.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.7%, between October 2020 and February 2025, 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 18.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOLPHIN COTTAGE of £625,000 on 20th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £742,105 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOLPHIN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
