DROVERS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three DROVERS COTTAGE sales between January 1999 and October 2021 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 August 2020 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might DROVERS COTTAGE be worth now?

DROVERS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £593,094.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.8%, between October 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Northumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DROVERS COTTAGE of £495,000 on 26th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £593,094 over the four years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DROVERS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Northumberland local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DROVERS COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2021.
