FERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FERN COTTAGE sales from October 2013 and April 2015 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 2013 sale was for 74% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% above the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it falls to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.

What might FERN COTTAGE be worth now?

FERN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £635,919.

This is based on house price inflation of 42.1%, between April 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 42.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FERN COTTAGE of £447,500 on 16th April 2015. For the value to have increased from £447,500 to £635,919 over the ten years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FERN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The April 2015 sale price of £447,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FERN COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2015.
