FRIARS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FRIARS COTTAGE sales between November 2002 and July 2017 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 was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might FRIARS COTTAGE be worth now?

FRIARS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £470,748.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.8%, between July 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FRIARS COTTAGE of £417,500 on 21st July 2017. For the value to have increased from £417,500 to £470,748 over the six years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FRIARS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £417,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FRIARS COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2017.
