GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Malvern Hills local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GARDEN COTTAGE sales from May 2009 and December 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 May 2009 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might GARDEN COTTAGE be worth now?

GARDEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £568,025.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.6%, between December 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Malvern Hills local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDEN COTTAGE of £435,000 on 20th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £568,025 over the seven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Malvern Hills local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £435,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2017.
