ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Flintshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ELM COTTAGE sales between March 2011 and December 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 February 2014 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might ELM COTTAGE be worth now?

ELM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £301,584.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.3%, between December 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Flintshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELM COTTAGE of £215,000 on 22nd December 2016. For the value to have increased from £215,000 to £301,584 over the nine years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Flintshire local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £215,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELM COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2016.
