FOURPENNY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Winchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FOURPENNY COTTAGE sales from August 2010 and May 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 August 2010 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might FOURPENNY COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 69.8%, between May 2012 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Winchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 69.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOURPENNY COTTAGE of £247,000 on 18th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £247,000 to £419,287 over the eleven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
