FOSS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FOSS COTTAGE sales between March 2003 and January 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 May 2008 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might FOSS COTTAGE be worth now?

FOSS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £647,287.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.6%, between January 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOSS COTTAGE of £565,000 on 8th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £565,000 to £647,287 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOSS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £565,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
