FIR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FIR TREE COTTAGE sales between February 1999 and January 2020 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 January 2005 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might FIR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

FIR TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £402,573.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.5%, between January 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Stroud local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIR TREE COTTAGE of £334,000 on 3rd January 2020. For the value to have increased from £334,000 to £402,573 over the four years and eleven 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 Stroud local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £334,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIR TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2020.
