FIDDLESTICKS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIDDLESTICKS COTTAGE sales from July 2006 and March 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 July 2006 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might FIDDLESTICKS COTTAGE be worth now?

FIDDLESTICKS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £598,903.

This is based on house price deflation of 5.2%, between March 2023 and February 2025, for 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 5.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for FIDDLESTICKS COTTAGE of £631,900 on 16th March 2023. For the value to have decreased from £631,900 to £598,903 over the two years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIDDLESTICKS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The March 2023 sale price of £631,900 represented a fair market value for the property.
