FARM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bolton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FARM COTTAGE sales from August 2019 and October 2023 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 2019 sale was for 104% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 104% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.

What might FARM COTTAGE be worth now?

FARM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £425,738.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.4%, between October 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Bolton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FARM COTTAGE of £400,000 on 18th October 2023. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £425,738 over the two years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FARM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bolton local authority area.
• The October 2023 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FARM COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2023.
