ELM FIELD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ELM FIELD COTTAGE sales from October 1999 and August 2003 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 October 1999 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might ELM FIELD COTTAGE be worth now?

ELM FIELD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £792,501.

This is based on house price inflation of 105.3%, between August 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 105.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELM FIELD COTTAGE of £386,000 on 15th August 2003. For the value to have increased from £386,000 to £792,501 over the 22 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELM FIELD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2003 sale price of £386,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
