FORRESTERS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FORRESTERS COTTAGE sales between December 1995 and March 2004 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 May 1999 sale was for 83% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 83% above the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, where it rises to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.

What might FORRESTERS COTTAGE be worth now?

The 104.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORRESTERS COTTAGE of £280,000 on 29th March 2004. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £572,631 over the 21 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
