FIR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FIR TREE COTTAGE sales between August 1999 and June 2017 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 September 2003 sale was for 116% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 116% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 135% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 135% above the HPI.

What might FIR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

FIR TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,451,922.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.3%, between June 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Test Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIR TREE COTTAGE of £1,150,000 on 30th June 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,150,000 to £1,451,922 over the eight years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIR TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Test Valley local authority area.
• The June 2017 sale price of £1,150,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIR TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2017.
