FIR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FIR TREE COTTAGE sales between September 1999 and August 2012 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 December 2007 sale was for 115% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 115% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 128% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 128% above the HPI.

What might FIR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

FIR TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £708,640.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.9%, between August 2012 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIR TREE COTTAGE of £435,000 on 17th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £708,640 over the eleven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIR TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £435,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIR TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2012.
