ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ELM COTTAGE sales from September 2012 and February 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 September 2012 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might ELM COTTAGE be worth now?

ELM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £836,289.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.7%, between February 2016 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELM COTTAGE of £640,000 on 5th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £640,000 to £836,289 over the nine years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £640,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELM COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2016.
