FIR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIR TREE COTTAGE sales from January 2014 and August 2021 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 2014 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 90% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 90% above the HPI.

What might FIR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

FIR TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,036,734.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.1%, between August 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIR TREE COTTAGE of £925,000 on 3rd August 2021. For the value to have increased from £925,000 to £1,036,734 over the four years and six months to February 2025, 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 Dacorum local authority area.
• The August 2021 sale price of £925,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIR TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2021.
