GRAIN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GRAIN COTTAGE sales between July 1998 and August 2002 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 2000 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the August 2002 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might GRAIN COTTAGE be worth now?

GRAIN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £540,236.

This is based on house price inflation of 134.9%, between August 2002 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 134.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GRAIN COTTAGE of £230,000 on 2nd August 2002. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £540,236 over the 23 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GRAIN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The August 2002 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GRAIN COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2002.
