DOVE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DOVE COTTAGE sales from October 1998 and January 2016 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 1998 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might DOVE COTTAGE be worth now?

DOVE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £587,868.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.9%, between January 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wychavon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOVE COTTAGE of £432,500 on 22nd January 2016. For the value to have increased from £432,500 to £587,868 over the eight years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOVE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wychavon local authority area.
• The January 2016 sale price of £432,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOVE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2016.
