FOREST COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FOREST COTTAGE sales from July 2014 and December 2019 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 2014 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might FOREST COTTAGE be worth now?

FOREST COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £464,951.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.2%, between December 2019 and February 2025, for semi-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 19.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST COTTAGE of £390,000 on 11th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £464,951 over the six years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOREST COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2019.
