ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ELM COTTAGE sales between August 1999 and January 2009 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 December 2001 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the January 2009 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might ELM COTTAGE be worth now?

ELM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £920,893.

This is based on house price inflation of 86%, between January 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 86% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELM COTTAGE of £495,000 on 29th January 2009. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £920,893 over the fifteen years and eleven 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 Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The January 2009 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELM COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2009.
