DOWNS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the City of Bristol local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DOWNS COTTAGE sales from January 2002 and August 2013 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 January 2002 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 102% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 102% above the HPI.

What might DOWNS COTTAGE be worth now?

DOWNS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,412,359.

This is based on house price inflation of 101.8%, between August 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the City of Bristol local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 101.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWNS COTTAGE of £700,000 on 14th August 2013. For the value to have increased from £700,000 to £1,412,359 over the twelve years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 2013 sale price of £700,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
