GODWIT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Chorley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GODWIT COTTAGE sales between January 2001 and December 2019 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 November 2014 sale was for 160% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 160% above the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 179% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 179% above the HPI.

What might GODWIT COTTAGE be worth now?

GODWIT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £572,527.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.6%, between December 2019 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Chorley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 31.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GODWIT COTTAGE of £435,000 on 13th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £572,527 over the five years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GODWIT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Chorley local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £435,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GODWIT COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2019.
