GARDENERS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GARDENERS COTTAGE sales between October 2000 and November 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 September 2002 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might GARDENERS COTTAGE be worth now?

GARDENERS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £536,226.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.8%, between November 2012 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Test Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 75.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDENERS COTTAGE of £305,000 on 30th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £536,226 over the eleven years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDENERS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Test Valley local authority area.
• The November 2012 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDENERS COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2012.
